Abstract

Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) and Hand Foot Skin Reaction (HFSR) are common toxicities of several systemic cancer treatments. Multikinase inhibitor- induced HFSR is distinguished from chemotherapy-induced HFS in terms of pathogenesis, symptomatology, and treatment. Multiple trials have investigated the efficacy of preventive strategies such as COX-inhibitors, pyridoxine and urea cream, however, no consensus has been made. This meta-analysis evaluated data from high quality trials to provide strong evidence in forming recommendations to prevent systemic cancer therapy-induced HFS/HFSR.
