Fulltext PDFOncological therapy is a very complex process. An accurate diagnosis is the first and most important stage of therapy for the patient, as it allows the medical staff to determine what treatment is necessary and how to plan it. Cancer treatment is now widely recognized as holistic, in which the body is viewed as one interconnected system. Cancer therapy should not focus on just one area of care, but should also include treatment support such as proper nutrition or pain management. The aim of the article was to confirm the level of hydration, limit excessive water loss and regulate the pH value of the skin of patients after cancer treatment who were administered fish collagen. The cosmetic preparation collagen laminate obtained by ultrafiltration was tested on patients who underwent therapy at the University Hospital in Zielona Góra and who underwent radiotherapy. Patients are currently no longer undergoing treatment. The research group of 50 women suffered from breast cancer (n=50). Before the experiment, the patients' skin was examined to diagnose its condition (zero condition). The study was conducted with the consent of the Bioethics Committee (consent number 692/23). It was confirmed that the product tested for an oncological patient has an appropriate level of skin hydration, supports the reconstruction of the skin and its energy barrier by reducing trans epidermal water loss and restoring appropriate pH values. Thanks to this, the effects of pathological changes can be removed and the effects of pathological changes can be accelerated.
