Plantar-palmar erytrodysaestesi. En ny og relativt hyppigt forekommende bivirkning ved antineoplastisk behandling
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE, hand-foot syndrome) is a relatively frequent cutaneous toxicity related to antineoplastic treatment with e.g. fluorouracil, capecitabine, and liposomal doxorubicin. It usually presents as paresthesia and painful erythema of the palms and soles and may lead to ulceration of the skin. The symptoms are dose-dependent, and the condition may be dose-limiting. Two cases of chemotherapy-associated PPE are presented.
