PRP for cancer survivors/

[Burnted_out]

hey all, for anyone who does PRP, is there a contraindication to PRP for patients who have previously had cancer?

No. But that does not also mean that there is an indication.

Sorry perhaps i phrased my question in an unclear way. I mean for patients who could potentially otherwise benefit from prp say for knees, is having had a history of cancer a contraindication? i'm not suggesting using prp for cancer.

I know. Busting your chops. If the prp comes out of their blood, how could it hurt them? My answer is not a chance. How much it helps is more unclear, but not a lot of downside.
