Patients' view of the differences in topical creams for radiation dermatitis prevention. A pilot study of cosmetic properties.

Aim: To investigate the feasibility of including patients' reports on the cosmetic properties of topical formulations for acute radiation dermatitis (ARD).

Background: No topical agent tested for acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) has proven to be better than any other, all achieving similar objective outcomes. No clear guidelines have therefore been established in clinics.
