В работе освещены основные вопросы эффективности и переносимости лучевого и химиолучевого лечения больных опухолями головы и шеи. Представлен спектр побочных эффектов и затронуты ключевые аспекты терапии сопровождения. Особое внимание уделено роли местной ранозаживляющей терапии в борьбе с мукозитом и дерматитом в рамках обеспечения оптимальных сроков лучевой терапии, а также сохранения качества жизни пациентов на всех этапах их лечения и реабилитации. Отдельно описаны возможности эффективной местной доставки лекарственных средств путем применения отечественных биополимерных наноматериалов. Так, использование биополимера альгината натрия в качестве матрицы в сочетании с деринатом позволило получить необходимый ранозаживляющий эффект, а добавление других лекарственных наделило препарат противоинфекционным, обезболивающим, антиоксидантным, либо радиомодифицирующим действием. Применение адекватной терапии сопровождения с ранозаживляющим компонентом позволяет соблюдать оптимальные сроки лечения, что было достоверно показано на собственном опыте. The study highlighted major aspects of efficacy and tolerability of radiation and chemoradiation treatment in patients with head and neck tumors. A range of side effects is presented and key aspects of supportive care are discussed. Particular attention was paid to local wound healing as the main cure for mucositis and dermatitis and key factor for optimal timing of radiotherapy as well as to preserving patients’ quality of life. Possibilities for effective local drug delivery using biopolymeric nanomaterials are described. Thus, the use of biopolymeric sodium alginate as a matrix in combination with derinate allowed to achieve the required wound-healing effect. Addition of other drugs provided anti-infection, analgesic, antioxidant or radiomodifying effects. Appropriate supportive therapy in combination with a wound healing component allows to adhere to the optimal treatment duration, as our experience has convincingly demonstrated.

The future of wound healing progress lies in the support of research being performed at this very moment. In basic science and clinical laboratories all across the nation, there are investigative studies underway, which have as their purpose, the ultimate improvement of wound healing capabilities of the human body In both soft and hard tissues.

Hypothyroidism is a well-recognized complication of combined treatment for head and neck cancer. We discuss four patients who developed pharyngeal fistulas after total laryngectomy and preoperative (one patient) or postoperative (three patients) radiation therapy. The fistulas were refractory to conservative and surgical repair. Once the existence of hypothyroidism was established, immediate substitution therapy resulted in rapid healing of the fistulas and marked improvement of the patients' general condition. Few clinical reports exist on postoperative hypothyroidism and wound healing complications. Experimental work shows delay and impairment of wound healing in hypothyroid animals as opposed to hyperthyroid ones, in which wound healing was accelerated. Suspicion is warranted in patients after treatment for head and neck cancer when they exhibit even minimal symptoms of hypothyroidism or develop postoperative complications refractory to conservative treatment.
