Abstract

The most common acute side effect of patients receiving radiation therapy to the breast/chest wall is radiation induced dermatitis. Despite this, there is no accepted intervention to prevent or treat it. A previous study by Bostrom et al showed Mometasone Furoate (M) cream was superior to Diprobase (D) in a study of 50 breast cancer patients. We sought to repeat this study in a larger cohort of 120 patients.
