Abstract

Malignant fungating wounds (MFWs) can be a distressing consequence of breast cancer. Although the true prevalence of MFWs is unknown, existing figures suggest that rates may be as high as 62%, and this figure increases with age. Multiple studies have examined the psychological consequences of MFWs in the breast. This review presents a summary of some of the research to examine the role of specialist wound advice.
