Strokovna priporočila za obravnavo radiodermatitisa in radiomukozitisa Clinical recommendations for the management of radiodermatitis and radiomucositis

Abstract

Radioterapija predstavlja pomemben del sodobnega onkološkega zdravljenja, vendar pogosto povzroča neželene učinke na koži in sluznicah, med katerimi sta najpogostejša radiodermatitis in radiomukozitis. Namen strokovnih priporočil je poenotiti obravnavo bolnikov, izboljšati prepoznavanje zgodnjih sprememb ter podati priporočila za preprečevanje, ocenjevanje in zdravljenje teh zapletov. Dokument obravnava etiologijo, dejavnike tveganja, klinično sliko in stopnje radiodermatitisa ter radiomukozitisa glede na področje obsevanja. Poseben poudarek je namenjen preventivnim ukrepom, zdravstveni negi, prehranski podpori, obvladovanju bolečine ter multidisciplinarnemu pristopu pri obravnavi bolnikov med in po zdravljenju z radioterapijo. Priporočila so namenjena zdravstvenim delavcem in sodelavcem na vseh ravneh zdravstvenega varstva, ki sodelujejo pri vsakodnevni oskrbi onkoloških bolnikov.

The purpose of these professional recommendations is to standardize patient care, improve the recognition of early changes, and provide guidelines for the prevention, assessment, and treatment of these complications. The document addresses the etiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, and stages of radiodermatitis and radiomucositis based on the area of radiation. Special emphasis is placed on preventive measures, nursing care, nutritional support, pain management, and a multidisciplinary approach to patient care during and after radiotherapy. The recommendations are intended for healthcare professionals and staff at all levels of healthcare who are involved in the daily care of cancer patients.
