Care of the skin post radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is one of the most effective therapies for many different neoplasmatical diseases. It is also connected with high risk of very serious side effects, such as post-radiation skin damage (radiodermatitis). The clinical study conducted in Dolnoslaskie Centrum Onkologii in Wroclaw showed that application of X-ray Liposubtilium cream on the skin in the course and after finishing a radiotherapeutic session highly improves the skins condition, while decreasing inflammatory symptoms and skin cell damage. It also improves patients quality of life. (authors)
