Abstract

Cutaneous side effects of anti-cancer agents affecting the skin, hair, nails and mucosa are commonly seen in the in-patient and out-patient settings. Here, we will review the various common cutaneous side effects by chemotherapy type: cytotoxic chemotherapies, EGFR inhibitors, multitargeted small molecule kinase inhibitors, BRAF inhibitors, MEK inhibitors, and checkpoint inhibitors. Some entities are more specific to certain anti-cancer classes such as hand foot syndrome for cytotoxic chemotherapies, papulopustular rashes for EGFR inhibitors, hand-foot skin reaction for multitargeted small molecule kinase inhibitors, and various autoimmune diseases with checkpoint inhibitors.
