ABSTRACT

There is currently no consensus regarding the management of acute cutaneous reactions emerging from a concurrent treatment of radio-and chemotherapy, the goal of this case study series is to provide scientific evidence based on clinical practice regarding the efficacy of a film-forming wound dressing for patients receiving combined cancer therapy, in particular examples where the reactions are expected to be intense. In all the described cases, management of acute skin reactions allowed the cancer therapy to be finalized, instead of being interrupted due to an increase in the severity of the reactions. It has been shown in the current literature that the lack of compliance with treatment plans correlates with poorer clinical outcome. Evidence from the cases presented suggest that the studied dressing is safe and efficacious in the treatment and the prevention of acute cutaneous reactions arising from combined cancer therapy.
