Cancer treatment can cause various skin and mucosa injuries. These injuries, which seriously reduce the quality of life of patients, should be well identified, evaluated, treated and necessary protective measures taken by healthcare professionals. Having a standardized wound assessment tool ensures consistent and accurate transfer of information among healthcare providers. To provide infection control, it is important to select appropriate antibiotic agents and appropriate antimicrobial dressins or solutions. They should be able to use evidence-based practices in wound care. In addition to all these physiological interventions, it should be able to offer interventions to solve the psychosocial problems that the wound may cause on the patient and his family.
