Abstract
OBJECTIVE To map topical interventions used to prevent hand-foot syndrome in cancer patients undergoing antineoplastic therapy. METHOD This is a scoping review reported in accordance with the recommendations of PRISMA-ScR (extension for scoping review) and the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual. The searches were carried out in the electronic databases CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, LILACS, LIVIVO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science; and gray literature (Google Scholar, Pro-Quest). RESULTS The searches resulted in 12,016 references and the final sample consisted of 45 studies. A total of 42 topical interventions were identified, including: moisturizing creams, corticosteroids, acids, mapisal, silymarin, and henna. However, urea was the most cited intervention (62%). As for the presentations of the interventions, they varied among creams, ointments, gels, hydrocolloids, decoctions, patches, powders, oils, and soaps. CONCLUSION The results allowed reviewing topical interventions, with emphasis on the use of urea and moisturizing creams. However, most of the interventions identified in this review require evaluation in future studies for better understanding of their benefits.

The role of dermocosmetics in the management of cancer-related skin toxicities: international expert consensus. Support Care Cancer 2023; 31:672. [PMID: 37925388 PMCID: PMC10625513 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-023-08116-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
Skin toxicities are very common in patients undergoing cancer treatment and have been found to occur with all types of cancer therapeutic interventions (cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy). Further, skin toxicities can lead to interruption or even discontinuation of anticancer treatment in some patients, translating to suboptimal outcomes. Dermocosmetics (or cosmeceuticals)-defined as skincare solutions incorporating dermatologically active ingredients (beyond vehicle effects) that directly improve symptoms of various skin conditions-are increasingly being used in cancer care to prevent and manage skin toxicities. The active ingredients in these products have a measurable biological action in skin; they typically improve skin integrity (barrier function/hydration and other factors) while relieving skin symptoms. The Association Francophone des Soins Oncologiques de Support (AFSOS) and Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) partnered to select a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with cancer and skin toxicities. The group reviewed existing literature and created a summary of recommendations for managing these toxicities through online meetings and communication. In this publication, the group (1) reviews new skin toxicities seen with oncology drugs and (2) evaluates the role of dermocosmetics in improving patient outcomes and minimizing cancer treatment interruptions. We provide general recommendations for initiation and selection of skin care in all oncology patients as well as recommendations for what factors should be considered when using dermocosmetics in specific types of skin toxicities.

Pharmaceutical and clinical studies of celecoxib topical hydrogel for management of chemotherapy-induced hand-foot syndrome. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2023; 396:1571-1581. [PMID: 36418469 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-022-02339-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) can be categorized as a frequent dose-limiting side effect following administration of chemotherapeutic agents, which needs an effective medication to avoid dose reduction or discontinuation. Oral celecoxib has been proved to be the best pharmacological intervention to ameliorate the skin lesions. However, due to reported gastrointestinal and cardiovascular toxicity following its long-term administration, celecoxib topical application would be a safe alternative for skin disorders. In this work, first, we formulated and optimized a topical hydrogel of celecoxib (1%) and then we investigated its efficacy in the management of chemotherapy-induced HFS in cancer patients. Optimized hydrogel showed acceptable results for drug content, pH, rheology, and stability. Analyzing in vitro drug release study by various mathematical models, the optimized hydrogel showed a zero-order release pattern with 93.27 ± 1.56% cumulative celecoxib release within 8 h. Ex vivo permeation studies across Wistar rat skin indicated suitable skin retention of celecoxib for topical delivery. Twenty-nine patients suffering from HFS were randomized to receive celecoxib and the placebo hydrogels 2 times a day for 3 weeks. At the baseline and at the end of the trial, HFS grades were determined. No serious adverse events occurred in patients who completely followed the instructions. No statistically significant differences between two arms were observed at the baseline (p value = 0.38). By contrast, Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significant differences when secondary grades (p value = 0.05) and grade differences (p values < 0.001) were analyzed. Overall, the study proved that celecoxib hydrogel could be a promising intervention to manage HFS side effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the prevalence of hand-foot syndrome (HFS) in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched, from their inception to September 20, 2022, to identify studies on the prevalence of HFS in patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy. Comprehensive retrieval of literature was performed using the literature tracing method. We calculated the prevalence of HFS in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy based on meta-analyses. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression analyses were performed to determine the sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 20 studies were included, involving 4773 cases. Meta-analysis of the random effects model showed that the total prevalence of HFS in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy was 49.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.332, 0.651). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the most frequent grades of HFS were grades 1 and 2, accounting for 40.1% (95% CI: 0.285, 0.523) of cases; this rate was markedly higher than that of grades 3 and 4 (5.8%; 95% CI: 0.020, 0.112). The meta-regression results illustrated that the type of research, country of the study population, type of drug, and year of publication were not sources of heterogeneity in this setting (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The present findings showed that the prevalence of HFS in patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy was high. Healthcare professionals should provide knowledge to such patients regarding the prevention and management of HFS.

Ramasubbu MK, Maji S, Padhan M, Maiti R, Hota D, Majumdar SKD, Srinivasan A. Chemotherapy-induced hand foot syndrome: comparative efficacy and safety of pharmacological prophylaxis - systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis. BMJ Support Palliat Care 2022:spcare-2022-004011. [PMID: 36564149 DOI: 10.1136/spcare-2022-004011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is one of the most common toxicities experienced by patients receiving systemic chemotherapy agents such as capecitabine and multikinase inhibitors such as sorafenib. Several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the efficacy and safety of prophylactic agents such as pyridoxine, celecoxib, urea cream and cystine/theanine in managing HFS. This network meta-analysis (NMA) evaluated data from high-quality trials to provide strong evidence in forming recommendations to prevent systemic cancer therapy-induced HFS. OBJECTIVE To examine the comparative efficacy and safety of interventions for preventing systemic chemotherapy-induced HFS in patients with cancer. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase and clinical trial registry for RCTs of interventions for preventing HFS. Bayesian NMA was performed to estimate the OR with 95% credible intervals (CrI) from both direct and indirect evidence. The outcome measures were the incidence of HFS (grade ≥1) and moderate to severe HFS (grade ≥2). Adverse drug reactions were discussed descriptively. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs with 2715 patients with 12 prophylactic strategies were included. The analysis showed only celecoxib could significantly prevent the incidence of moderate to severe HFS (grade ≥2) (OR 0.29, 95% CrI 0.13 to 0.68). But none of the preventive interventions could prevent the incidence of HFS (grade ≥1). CONCLUSION Only celecoxib (200 mg two times per day) showed significant prevention of the incidence of moderate to severe HFS. Pyridoxine (400 mg once daily) and urea cream (10%) have to be evaluated further in larger randomised trials.
