The rash, also known as “skin tox rash,” “chemo rash,” and “EGFR rash” may be a result of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor therapies. Before starting treatment with an EGFR inhibitor, patients are encouraged to speak with doctors about how to 防止 疹子。 "在与晚期患者及其家属的合作中，我们认识到围绕皮肤毒性的副作用管理教育的重要性和必要性，以及在开始使用表皮生长因子受体抑制剂之前如何预防皮疹的信息，"对抗结直肠癌组织主席Anjee Davis说。"我们创建这些资源是为了给患者提供实用的提示，告诉他们在商店买什么，问医生什么，以及如果他们看到痤疮样皮疹出现，应该做什么和不应该做什么"。 The new resources include a video featuring Drs. Edith Mitchell from Thomas Jefferson University and Dennis Porto from Henry Ford Health System Department of Dermatology as well as a fact sheet patients can download and print to take to doctor’s appointments. In addition to the educational resources produced by Fight Colorectal Cancer, patients may also request a free skin care kit through the website. The resources and skin care kits were made possible though unrestricted grants from Bristol Myers-Squibb and Lilly Oncology. To access the resources visit FightCRC.org/SkinTox. 关于抗击大肠癌 Fight Colorectal Cancer is a community of activists who find it unacceptable that colorectal cancer – a preventable disease – is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. In 2005, we were founded by survivors and family members who believed in making a difference. Since then we have grown to be a leading, national nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. known for our advocacy. Our team plays an important role in making medical information practical for survivors and their families and provides trusted resources that guide patients from diagnosis through survivorship. We unite the colorectal cancer community by empowering anyone impacted by this disease to share their story, advocate for better policies and get involved in the research process. We are one million strong and we won’t stop fighting until there’s a cure. 关于 "Skin Toxicity AKA “Chemo Rash” Resources Released "的一个想法 谢谢你分享这些资源。对于那些正在经历化疗的人来说，拥有信息以了解正在发生的事情是至关重要的。 评论已关闭。
