Abstract

Changes in skin and its adnexa such as hair follicles and nails are among the most common side effects of antineoplastic treatments. They pose a challenge with regard to diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. This article reviews the various cutaneous reactions to chemotherapy and their most common causative agents, the adverse events of radiation therapy, as well as the characteristic skin changes under treatment with new molecular-driven targeted agents.
