      research Cutaneous Adverse Events of Targeted Anticancer Therapy: A Review of Common Clinical Manifestations and Management

      2 citations , December 2015 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)”
      Targeted anticancer therapies, unlike traditional chemotherapies, often caused cutaneous adverse events, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas. Common dermatologic toxicities from EGFR inhibitors included papulopustular eruption, xerosis, pruritus, and paronychia, while VEGFR inhibitors frequently led to hand-foot skin reactions. These side effects sometimes resulted in poor adherence to treatment and reduced quality of life due to psychosocial discomfort. Interestingly, the severity of these adverse events was positively correlated with treatment response. Management strategies were divided into prophylaxis and reactive treatment, with systemic antibiotics and topical corticosteroids potentially preventing or alleviating symptoms from EGFR inhibitors. Additionally, sun exposure prevention and the use of emollients and lubricants were recommended to manage hand-foot skin reactions.
