Abstract:  Radiotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, as important representatives of current chemotherapy, are crucial and irreplaceable treatments of modern oncology. These two types of treatments frequently cause severe dose-dependent dermatologic adverse events that can negatively affect a patient’s quality of life and compliance and cause inappropriate dose reductions and even treatment brakes. This article aims to emphasize new scientific data, published in peer reviews, regarding new possibilities to manage these debilitating dermatological adverse events. Since part of the scientific findings is new, the responsibility to enable pharmacologic treatment is in the compounding pharmacist domain. The article also suggests new formulations to the new pharmacologic treatment.
