An international writing group consisting of 12 experts from radiotherapy and two patient representatives composed a recommendation document for the management of radiodermatitis (RID). The consensus for these recommendations was generated based on a number of international guidelines and supplemented with evidence based on review articles on the topic. These recommendations focus on the prevention and management of early stages of RID by avoiding skin trauma as well as maintaining hygiene and moving more towards addressing pain and inflammation in higher grades. The current literature refutes some of the traditional recommendations especially restricting washing as well as the use of deodorant or the potential dose build-up of lotions which has been included and rectified in recent guidelines. However, anecdotally some of these are still used, underpinning the need for published evidence-based recommendations. In addition to providing recommendations on the prevention and management of RID, the importance of grading the severity, including a baseline assessment is presented. Consideration of possible risk factors and communication within the multidisciplinary team is described. The benefit of clear, non-contradictory communication with the patients, as well as patient involvement (e.g. PROMs or similar), is highlighted. Furthermore, the importance of recognising different skin types and skin tones, and the impact on how RID changes these in their appearance is stressed. The writing group provides recommendations, referencing the supporting literature and its hierarchy of evidence. However, the writing group acknowledge that there is still a lack of high-level evidence, especially for agent-specific recommendations. Abstract:
