Abstract:
A postal survey of skin care during radiotherapy throughout UK centres has shown considerable variability in practice between units. No scientific study has established the value of many of the treatments advocated and suggestions for a more rational approach to the care of irradiated skin are made. In particular, the continued use of common topical applications for the management of dry and moist desquamation is questioned.
