Cancer systemic therapeutics and radiotherapy are often associated with dermatological toxicities that may reduce patients’ quality of life and impact their course of cancer treatment. These toxicities cover a wide range of conditions that can be complex to manage with increasing severity. This review provides details on twelve common dermatological toxicities encountered during cancer treatment and offers measures for their prevention and management, particularly in the Australian/New Zealand context where skincare requirements may differ to other regions due to higher cumulative sun damage caused by high ambient ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. Given the frequency of these dermatological toxicities, a proactive phase is envisaged where patients can actively try to prevent skin toxicities.
癌症系统性治疗与放疗常伴随皮肤毒性反应,这些反应可能降低患者生活质量并影响癌症治疗进程。此类毒性涵盖多种复杂病症,其严重程度呈递增趋势且管理难度较高。本综述详细阐述了癌症治疗过程中常见的十二种皮肤毒性反应,并提出了相应的预防与管理措施,尤其针对澳大利亚/新西兰地区——该区域因环境紫外线暴露较强导致累积性日光损伤更为严重,其皮肤护理需求可能与其他地区存在差异。鉴于皮肤毒性反应的高发性,建议建立主动预防阶段,使患者能够积极采取预防措施。
