Dermatological adverse events are commonly experienced by patients during anticancer treatment [1, 2]. Xerosis is frequently associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRi) or mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor (MEKi) treatment [3]. While xerosis is typically mild-to-moderate in intensity, it can significantly impact quality of life [4], especially in patients receiving long-term anticancer therapy.

Abstract

Dermatological adverse events are commonly experienced by patients during anticancer treatment [1, 2]. Xerosis is frequently associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRi) or mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor (MEKi) treatment [3]. While xerosis is typically mild-to-moderate in intensity, it can significantly impact quality of life [4], especially in patients receiving long-term anticancer therapy.
