Abstract
Hematology patients can have wounds as part of the initial presentation of the disease, as a result of infection or therapy. Wound therapy is very important and requires multidisciplinary approach of the hematologist, surgeon, dermatologist, and all other medical staff involved in the patient’s care. It is very important to provide aseptic care and prevent infections that could complicate the patient’s recovery and cure. It is very important to recognize the wound with malignant infiltration because an appropriate chemotherapy can be curative.
