Abstract:
Cytostatic chemotherapy is an integral therapeutic concept in dermatological oncology. The cytostatic drugs are mostly used in palliative situations and in most cases can be applied in an outpatient setting. Special medical knowledge as well as organizational structures are necessary for managing ambulant chemotherapy. A broad spectrum of cytostatic drugs is available and their special indications and use for the treatment of different types of dermato-oncological diseases is reviewed. Specific tools have to be taken into account before, during and after the application of chemotherapy. These include prevention of nausea and emesis, safety guidelines related to the prevention of extravasation, as well as special situations related to patient age.
