Skin adverse events of anti-cancer treatments: an examination of drug-adverse events associations

Although anticancer treatments, including chemotherapies, targeted therapies, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, are effective for treating cancer, they can be associated with significant skin toxicities, or adverse events (AEs). These can cause discomfort and may lead to discontinuation of therapies. However, a comprehensive estimation of associations between the use of cancer drugs and skin AEs is currently lacking. This study aims to investigate these associations, using a large database.
