Effect of delaying radiation on wound healing

Journal Article · · Gynecol. Oncol.; (United States)
; ;
The effect of postwounding local radiation was measured in an animal model. Tensile strength and histologic appearance of wounds irradiated on Day 0, 3, and 5 were studied. The irradiated wounds were all significantly weaker than the nonirradiated wounds, but delaying the radiation did not benefit wound healing.
