Side effects of targeted therapies: rash
Objectives:
To present a thorough literature review on the assessment, grading, and treatment of rash associated with targeted therapies for cancer treatment. To identify ways that nursing can impact a patient's treatment experience by understanding and properly managing treatment for the rash.
Data Sources:
Peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks.
Conclusion:
Identification and management of rash induced by targeted therapies may improve quality of life and allow patients to continue drug therapy for their cancer to offer best outcomes.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Nurses are in a unique position to assess, grade, and manage rash in patients receiving targeted therapies. Nurses will often be the first point of contact for the patient experiencing a rash, and the proper triage and advice on management can help the patient tolerate these drugs and enable them to remain on treatment.
