ABSTRACT:
A method of treating irradiated tissue, such as for revascularizing and preventing or reducing wound healing complications in a human or other animal subject having cancer. The method comprises administering to the irradiated tissue a therapeutic composition comprising one or more of platelet rich plasma, platelet poor plasma or platelet concentrate. In some embodiments the complications sought to be prevented and/or reduced can include: fibrotic tissue, prolonged would drainage, hematomas, seromas, fistula formation infection, pain, poor coloration, deficient vascularity, and desensitization in or around the irradiated site.
