Cutaneous side effects caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors occurred in 45-100% of patients which may lead to therapy modification or interruption. This study aimed to evaluate cutaneous side effects and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients who received gefitinib EGFR inhibitor.
A descriptive observational study with cross-sectional design and a consecutive sampling method was conducted from 1 February to 4 March 2016. Eleven NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation who visited the Hemato-Oncology Clinic/Internal Medicine Department, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, were assessed through history taking, physical examination, and TEWL examination using Tewameter.
Ten of the eleven patients experienced cutaneous side effects. The most frequently observed was xerosis cutis (8/10 patients), followed by acneiform eruptions (7/10 patients), and paronychia (3/10 patients). None of these patients experienced hair changes, mucositis, or drug hypersensitivity. Mean TEWL value of these patients was higher than normal (11.205 ± 1.881 g/m/h).
Patients who received gefitinib EGFR inhibitor experienced cutaneous side effects including xerosis cutis, acneiform eruptions, and paronychia, and have mean TEWL values higher than normal. Therefore, it might affect the skin barrier function.
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)抑制剂引起的皮肤副作用发生在45%-100%的患者中,这可能导致治疗调整或中断。本研究旨在评估接受吉非替尼(一种EGFR抑制剂)治疗的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的皮肤副作用和经表皮水分流失(TEWL)值。
采用横断面设计和连续抽样方法进行描述性观察研究,研究时间为2016年2月1日至3月4日。对11例EGFR突变的NSCLC患者进行了评估,这些患者前往印度尼西亚万隆哈桑·萨迪金综合医院血液肿瘤诊所/内科就诊,通过病史采集、体格检查以及使用皮肤水分流失仪进行TEWL检查。
11例患者中有10例出现皮肤副作用。最常观察到的是皮肤干燥(8/10例患者),其次是痤疮样皮疹(7/10例患者)和甲沟炎(3/10例患者)。这些患者均未出现毛发改变、口腔黏膜炎或药物过敏。这些患者的平均TEWL值高于正常水平(11.205±1.881克/平方米/小时)。
接受吉非替尼EGFR抑制剂治疗的患者出现了包括皮肤干燥、痤疮样皮疹和甲沟炎在内的皮肤副作用,且平均TEWL值高于正常水平。因此,这可能会影响皮肤屏障功能。
