Abstract

Anticancer treatments are associated with cutaneous adverse events (cAEs) that can severely impact patients' quality of life (QoL) and interfere with treatment outcomes. LACOM aims to support clinicians in preventing and managing cAEs to optimize patient outcomes.
A panel of dermatologists, clinical oncologists, and radiation oncologists developed an evidence-based algorithm for the prevention and treatment of cancer treatment-related cAEs using a skincare regimen that includes hygiene, moisturization, sun protection, and camouflage products.
The LACOM II algorithm discusses patient education before cancer treatment, appropriate skincare, triage, and the importance of treating emerging cAEs with a multidisciplinary team.
Integrating proactive education, safe and effective skincare, triage, and reaction-specific management of cAEs is essential to optimize the care of patients living with cancer. The LACOM II algorithm provides evidence- and opinion-based best-practice recommendations to support clinicians working with oncology patients throughout the continuum of care, achieving optimal outcomes and improving patients' QoL.  .
