This book serves as a practical guide for the prevention and
treatment of radiation dermatitis. 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. Each chapter is devoted to a specific disease site, such
as the head and neck, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary,
gynecologic, and central nervous system. Pediatric malignancies and
wound care for locally advanced cancers are also discussed. 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. This book provides evidence where it exists for the
specific interventions and an extensive illustration program
depicts the various reactions and their response to treatment
protocols. Skin Care in Radiation Oncology: A Practical Guide
presents a framework for patient care in an era of advancing
technology and systemic and targeted therapies and is a valuable
resource for radiation oncologists, dermatologists, and residents.
