- ChemotherapyOver the past 25 years, latent viral infection was discovered in a much larger segment of the population. It only became clinically significant when the immune system was suppressed by the AIDS virus or chemotherapy. It appears more as a tissue reaction pattern than a true malignancy. Interestingly, widespread disease can regress completely when chemotherapy is discontinued, and the immune system is allowed to recover.
- GangreneArterial ulcers are the third and most difficult ulcers to manage. They result from inflammatory vasculitis of many varied etiologies. Embolization (blocks the flow of blood) can be caused by a blood clot, cholesterol, tumor or arteriosclerosis (thickening and hardening of the arterial walls). An obstructive block (total occlusion) can lead to gangrene (death of tissue). Without sufficient blood supply, tissue dies, and the body is unable to heal these ulcers. Peripheral vascular surgeons are usually required to deal with these problems.

- Skin CancerSquamous Cell cancers are the second most frequent form of skin cancer, representing about 20% of all skin cancers diagnosed. These cancers typically appear on any light exposed areas of the body, but are particularly common on the face, balding scalp, and upper extremities. A familial tendency for this type of cancer is a predominant factor. However, heavy sun exposure, burns, and radiation injuries are also common precursors of squamous cell cancers.
