Skin Adverse Effects from Oncological Therapies
Summary:
Cancer is the second cause of death worldwide, and despite the medical progress, the treatments that are being applied do not always have the required success and cause serious adverse effects. This dissertation describes the mechanisms of action of older antitumor agents as well as newer targeted therapy agents and emphasizes on the adverse effects they cause on the skin. The undesirable skin effects of anticancer therapy affect the patient psychologically, and sometimes they are so serious, e.g. acute acne rash, which can lead to a temporary discontinuation of the treatment. This thesis also describes the methods that are used for the prevention of hair loss and for the restoration of eyelash and eyebrow hypotrichosis e.g. permanent make-up, the legal framework of the colorants, the constraints and the possible health problems that these techniques cause. Moreover, the dermocosmetic and pharmaceutical methods for preventing / treating the skin side effects from targeted therapy are described
