Cancer and Wounds

Faculty: Dot Weir, RN, CWCN, COCN, CWS; Ann Hatcher, RN

Description:When caring for the patient who has cancer, clinicians are often faced with skin changes, non-healing wounds and pain that result from the treatment and not the original malignancy. This session will examine the cellular and immunological changes that result from the treatments and provide management approaches to some of the common skin and soft tissue dilemmas presented by these challenging patients.
