Hand-Foot Skin Reaction (HFSR) HFSR over time HFSR is distinct from the more widely known hand foot syndrome (HFS also known as PPE, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia) which occurs with older therapies such as capecitabine 1 Cutaneous areas typically affected by HFSR are those under the most pressure or friction, such as the palms of the hand, soles of the feet, fingers or toes 1,2 HFSR typically develops soon (2 4 weeks) after a patient starts treatment 2 HFSR is not life-threatening and usually resolves with appropriate management and/or dose modification 2 Frequency of HFSR (%) 20 15 10 5 0 # Patients at risk 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Treatment Cycle 500 417 229 193 119 91 55 43 CORRECT (n=500) Grade 1 Grade 3 1.

: treatment : treatment - Preventive measures: - remove calluses before starting treatment - avoid friction, pressure, irritation - nicely fitting shoes (no sandals or slippers) / cotton socks - wear gloves for washing, cleaning, working - don t wash hands too often and avoid very hot water use wash oil e.g. Eucerin wash oil - use hand- or foot cream hand cream: Neutrogena, Huizinga Fagron, Eucerin hand cream foot cream: Xerial feet, Eucerin foot cream - pressure absorbing silicone shoe sole - Ultrapotent topical steroids for inflammation (redness, blisters) e.g. Dermovate, preparation with salicylic acid + clobetasolpropionate - Urea or salicylic acid ointment for hyperkeratosis (callus) e.g. Xerial 10 (feet), Xerial 30, Xerial 50 salicylic acid in preparation by dermatologist - Topical anaesthetics for pain e.g. Xylocain gel - Oral analgetics for pain if insufficient - When the lesions are wet, take a swab and use oral antibiotics (adjust according to antibiogram) e.g. fluxloxacillin, cefuroxim HFSR management: dose modifications Maculopapular rash GRADE 1 GRADE 2 GRADE 3 First Occurrence Maintain dose level Consider decreasing dose by 1 dose level and institute Institute immediate support measures.
