Are There Any Long-Term Effects of Scarring from Cancer Treatment?
Long-term effects of scarring can vary based on the location and extent of the fibrosis. Chronic pain, reduced organ function, and limited mobility are common issues. For example, breast cancer patients who undergo surgery and radiation may develop fibrosis in the chest wall, leading to stiffness and discomfort. Long-term monitoring and supportive care are essential to manage these effects and maintain quality of life.
