Abstract

Objective changes in skin parameters during radiotherapy may assist in predicting patients most at risk of skin toxicity and identify intervention strategies to reduce radiation dermatitis, but to date have only been minimally investigated [1, 2, 3]. While most patients tolerate conventional treatment well, predictive tools may be helpful in selecting those at high-risk for inclusion in toxicity intervention trials. The aim of this study was to quantify acute changes in skin parameters longitudinally during breast radiotherapy in a representative cohort of patients, and to identify baseline measures for subsequent studies of skin toxicity treatment intervention.
