What is Oncodermatology?

Oncodermatology is a rather new branch in Oncology science and refers to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of skin conditions that develop in relation to cancer treatments.

Skin side effects from anti-cancer treatments can also be a significant burden for patients already suffering the extreme pressures of a cancer diagnosis.

Oncodermatology treatments are customised for patients based on the type of cancer and treatment, as well as the patient’s personal goals.

Targeted therapies have become more popular in the treatment of cancers and side effects related to their use are being observed and defined.

There is an increasing number of patients living with cancer and there is an increasing demand to develop knowledge and expertise to manage their special skin needs, especially when it comes to local tumour control.

Electrochemotherapy comes as the treatment of choice for many of these patients when they know such treatment exists.
