Radiodermatitis
Radiodermatitis is the integumentary system's response to ionizing radiation exposure. Effects can range from erythematous rash to desquamation and necrosis. This response can cause significant pain and limitation of usual lifestyle activities. Radiodermatitis is experienced by the majority of patients with cancer receiving radiation therapy, so clinicians should know the evidence-based interventions for treating various effects of the symptom.
