Background: The aim of the study was to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in outpatients receiving anti-cancer treatment.
Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, single-center study that assessed HRQOL in cancer patients receiving antineoplastic treatment.
Results: A total of 184 patients were included in the study; the median total FACT-G score was 66 ± 12.
Background/objectives: Primary cutaneous lymphomas are rare in pediatric patients. The clinical and histopathological manifestations may differ from those in adults. Due to their low frequency and the insidious clinical picture, the diagnosis is usually delayed.

Healthcare professionals should consider this issue in order to minimize its negative impact on QoL and improve patient outcomes. This study evaluates the impact of CAEs on QoL in outpatients receiving anticancer drugs and aims to determine the differences in QoL between conventional chemotherapy targeted therapies.

There are many studies that assess this discipline in the general population, but few studies analyse the paediatric population exclusively. The aims of this study are to describe the distribution of diseases consulted through teledermatology, the use of this technique to avoid face-to-face consultations, and the agreement between virtual and face-to-face diagnoses, in the paediatric population.
