Abstract
Advances in the development of anticancer agents have led to improvements in survival and quality of life in cancer patients, with a concomitant decrease in many toxicities. However, many agents are still associated with a spectrum of dermatologic adverse events (AE). In this chapter we review the most frequent and clinically significant dermatologic AE associated with the use of anticancer agents for the treatment of dermatologic malignancies. It is critical for dermatologists to understand AE associated with anticancer agents to ensure optimal patient care. A primary goal for the dermatologist should be to manage the AE so that drug therapy can continue when it is showing efficacy.
