Notwithstanding the continuous progress in cancer treatment, patients with cancer still have to cope with quality of life (QoL) - impairing complications. Especially an extensive spectrum of dermatologic toxicities has been associated with cancer treatments. The number and type of cutaneous toxicities have evolved over the past 50 years, paralleling the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. The chemotherapy-related skin toxicities can significantly impede the patient's emotional, physical, social, and financial well-being resulting in a poor QoL. In rare cases of severe cutaneous reactions, treatment modifications are needed, resulting in a diminished overall survival. Important organizations in the field of oncology and supportive care, such as the MASCC, the ASCO, and the ESMO, have developed guidelines for the management of cancer therapy- related cutaneous toxicities based on available scientific evidence. Still, for some interventions, the evidence of recommendation is moderate to insufficient. Therefore, it is essential to elucidate other new potential management strategies for dermatological complications of cancer treatment. Based on the previously mentioned supportive care guidelines for the ChemoSkin project, a novel emollient to tackle the cutaneous adverse events of chemotherapy has been developed. The ChemoSkin project general aim is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel skincare product to manage chemotherapy-related cutaneous toxicities.

Other | General patient-, disease-, and treatment-related information | General and medical information will be collected through a short patient questionnaire in order to assess intrinsic risk factors (i.e., gender, age, smoking history, work habits, physical activity, skin condition, alcohol use, and medication use). Furthermore, information about disease- and treatment-related risk factors will be collected through medical records (e.g., tumor type and stage, tumor site, treatment type, radiotherapy regimen). | Baseline | |
Primary | Skin reaction evaluation | The severity of the skin reactions will be evaluated by the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5. | Baseline | |

Primary | Patient benefit composite | The Patient Benefit Index is a standardized questionnaire measuring patients' treatment needs and treatment benefits for skin diseases. The PBI comprises two components:
Patient Needs Questionnaire measuring the importance of different treatment goals from the patient perspective. Patient Benefit Questionnaire measuring the achievement of the treatment goals from the patient perspective. |
