Supportive oncodermatology-a narrative review of its utility and the way forward

Supportive oncodermatology is an interdisciplinary field, emerging due to increasing dermatological morbidity in patients with cancer and the recognition of the need for greater collaborative and integrated care to improve patient outcomes. These two unique fields (Oncology and Dermatology) may be integrated in various ways, such as through specialised combined clinics, protocols for expedited access, multidisciplinary groups and meetings, and the development of best practices guidelines. This narrative review consolidates the small but growing literature surrounding supportive oncodermatology; discusses the potential benefit and disadvantages, and areas for future research; and suggests a framework for implementation.
