19 kwi 2024 · Cancer can affect a person’s immunity, making wounds harder to heal. Some types of cancer can also cause lesions on the body’s surface that look like sores or wounds. This can occur with skin...
13 sty 2020 · Scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute have discovered that the ability of cancers to metastasize to other organs is dependent upon their ability to coopt natural wound-healing pathways. The findings provide a new way of looking at metastasis and its possible treatment.
26 sie 2021 · Key and overlapping proteins between wound healing (WH) and cancer could be identified in both of these processes leading to the recognition of essential master proteins to stop cancer...
We propose some new prospective hallmarks that might apply to both cancer and wound healing and discuss how wounding, as in biopsy and surgery, might positively or negatively influence cancer in the clinic.
Cancer treatments can often lead to slow or incomplete healing of wounds. Understanding how treatments may affect skin and healing can help families prepare for possible side effects and better manage wound and skin care.
This article focuses on understanding how functional variation in regeneration and wound healing might influence the risk of cancer. Variation in regenerative capacity might create trade-offs or adaptations that significantly alter cancer risk.
The factors discussed include oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition. A better understanding of the influence of these factors on repair may lead to therapeutics that improve wound healing and resolve impaired wounds.
