Article Synopsis
- Anticancer treatments are effective but can lead to a variety of skin-related side effects, particularly skin photosensitivity, which worsens with sun exposure.
- A review of recent literature focused on specific skin reactions, including phototoxic and photoallergic responses, and other conditions linked to sunlight exposure from these therapies.
- While there is growing recognition of photosensitivity issues in cancer treatment, further research is needed to enhance understanding and develop tailored treatment plans for affected patients.
