Check the comfort of patients with the application of the RCGF. Method: Two clinical cases of patients monitored previous, during and after RT. The first was a man with head and neck cancer, irradiating retroauricular and cervical areas, after graft and flap failure. The second was a breast cancer female patient, after surgery with mammoplasty complicated with partial flap necrosis. Both started adjuvant RT before the complication of the SW was completely resolved, and both applied only RCCF on irradiation sites. Results / Discussion: In the first patient the SW completely healed one week after starting RT, it did not recur, and in the end, only radiodermatitis grade I was observed. In the second patient, in the 5th week of RT, radiodermatitis grade I appeared, and the SW reopened with a small superficial ulcer, and 3.5% alginogel was started. In the 2nd week after RT, wound closed and radiodermatitis completely healed. Both patients felt only discomfort from the heat, which persisted within a week. Conclusion: The results obtained with the application of RCGF in this study, positively contradict the clinical experience in RT and the statement in the literature. The expected ulceration of the scar was only seen in the second patient, was superficial and healed quickly. There was also improvement in elasticity and aesthetic of these scars. The positive results obtained can be a starting point to perform more broad exploratory studies in this area. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
