Abstract
The group of patients with stage 4 disease has the worst prognosis and treatment results, with a decaying tumor ulcer forming in 2–5% of cases. Treatment of skin tumor ulceration includes antitumor therapy combined with local treatment of the tumor ulcer. Local treatment of decaying tumors consists of sanitation, washing with antiseptic solutions, and clearing the ulcer of necrotic masses by mechanical, chemical, and enzymatic methods. Bleeding is the most important problem of symptomatic treatment. “Hemostatic collagen sponge with silver” due to the combination of components not only stops capillary bleeding, but also promotes epithelialization of the wound defect against the background of antiseptic action.
