Cancer wounds belong to the atypical wound group. Cancer cells can develop in non-cancer wounds that do not heal for a long time, and their symptoms are so uncharacteristic that they rarely attract the attention of specialists treating non-healing wounds. As with their etiology, local treatment after the completion of oncological treatment is atypical. Management choice depends on the condition of the wound, but the interventions undertaken must bring benefit to the patient, improving their quality of life. Although the TIMERS system wet therapy and the features of an ideal dressing also apply to the treatment of cancer wounds, the actions may be completely different. Great care in wound debridement, atraumatic dressings, and maximum isolation of exudate are priorities in the treatment of cancer wounds. There is one overriding rule - do not use any preparations or dressings that support proliferation and wound healing, because then the neoplasm benefits instead of healing tissue. Wound management may be non-standard, but must be accepted by the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
