Abstract
Background: Cancer-treatment-related cutaneous adverse events (cAEs) are common and may severely impact quality of life (QoL) and decrease treatment outcomes. The Latin American Cutaneous Oncology Management (LACOM) project provides clinical insights into cancer-treatment-related cAEs, offering tools for preventing and managing cAEs.
Methods: LACOM I focuses on integrating education, prophylactic measures, and skincare in cancer treatment to improve treatment adherence, outcomes, and patients' and survivors' QoL.
Results: The LACOM panel provides evidence and opinion-based best practice recommendations for oncology skincare programs to support all stakeholders in the Latin American healthcare setting (Argentina, Chili, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Mexico) working with oncology patients throughout the entire continuum of care to achieve optimal outcomes, improving cancer patients and survivors' QoL. Oncology skincare programs comprise hygiene, moisturization, and sun protection with products that should be safe and help to minimize cAEs and improve skin conditions.
Conclusions: Integrating education, general measures, and skincare programs into cancer treatment should encourage the adoption of a proactive role of skincare from the beginning of treatment and ongoing, supporting optimal outcomes and improving cancer patients' and survivors' QoL. J Drugs Dermatol. 2025;24(3):262-268. doi:10.36849/JDD.8565.
