Purpose of the Website
The fact that radiotherapy is a therapeutic tool used in various applications for treating different forms of cancer is well-known in the medical world. However, an important aspect to delve into is the side effects associated with this therapeutic approach, with particular attention to skin injuries known as radiodermatitis.
To date, there are no guidelines to assist clinicians in adequately approaching the prevention and treatment of these injuries, which cause pain, ulceration, swelling, increased risk of infection, and the risk of interrupting radiotherapy, significantly impacting the quality of life and the success of the therapies themselves.
This website offers the opportunity to delve into the subject of radiodermatitis and its treatment through in-depth materials such as scientific presentations, links to reference articles, and interviews with clinicians involved in the process of patient care and management of radiation therapy-induced injuries.”
