Skin Care in Radiation Oncology
This book serves as a practical guide for the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis. Each chapter is devoted to a specific disease site, such as the head and neck, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecologic, and central nervous system. Skin toxicity caused by radiation treatment is common among cancer patients and minimizing the frequency and severity of these reactions improves quality of life and prevents interruptions that can compromise local-regional control.
For each topic, the range and frequency of the observed skin reactions, factors influencing these reactions, the typical course of each reaction and its resolution, and the interventions used are presented. Pediatric malignancies and wound care for locally advanced cancers are also discussed. This book provides evidence where it exists for the specific interventions and an extensive illustration program
