Skin Protection During Radiotherapy in Patients With Breast Cancer

Summary

Radiotherapy may cause severe skin changes that significantly interfere with the patient's quality of life and may reduce radiotherapy effectiveness. Many skin care instructions and various topical agents are recommended to help patients in the management of radiation skin reactions, but evidence to support the value of the topical treatments of the irradiated skin is lacking. In the present study we investigated the effects of two topical agents used as supportive care to protect skin during radiotherapy.
