Radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant fungating wounds: clinical practice, response rates, and outcome from a tertiary cancer center
RT for MFW is a highly effective treatment option, resulting in very high local tumor regression rates. It therefore reduces the numerous negative QoL-affecting consequences for the patients, which often present in a palliative state. Concurrent systemic therapy can be a prognostically relevant treatment option.
