Abstract
Appropriate prevention and management of dermatologic adverse events (dAEs) associated with the use of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) may help patients to continue therapy and lessen any negative impact on their quality of life. EGFR-TKIs are frequently associated with acneiform rash, pruritus, xerosis, and paronychia; however, dAEs associated with third-generation EGFR-TKIs are lower in frequency and severity. Before therapy, health care providers should discuss the potential osimertinib-associated dAEs and encourage patients to report their dAEs. Patients should also be educated on prophylactic measures to minimize the severity of dAEs and the importance of adherence to the treatment regimen.
