Efficacy of low-temperature argon plasma in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer
Valeriia O. Kozyreva
Abstract:Background: During radiation therapy for breast cancer, healthy tissues are damaged, leading to both systemic and local reactions, including radiation dermatitis with such symptoms as erythema, dryness, peeling, and pain. Disturbances of the microcirculation lead to hypoxia and fibrosis. The use of low-temperature argon plasma is a promising method for preventing acute radiation-induced skin damage, which is crucial for maintaining quality of life, preventing complications, and minimizing long-term effects.
