Systematic review and meta-analysis on interventions for radiation dermatitis prevention and management: an overview of the methods

Over several decades, research on the prevention and management of acute radiation dermatitis (RD) has continued to emerge, yet there remains no “gold standard” treatment for RD care. Recent guidelines on RD prevention and management were published in 2022 by the Oncodermatology Study Group of the M...

Description
Summary:Over several decades, research on the prevention and management of acute radiation dermatitis (RD) has continued to emerge, yet there remains no “gold standard” treatment for RD care. Recent guidelines on RD prevention and management were published in 2022 by the Oncodermatology Study Group of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC). As part of this guideline process, a collaborative effort was undertaken by international RD experts to quantitatively compare commonly studied RD skin interventions through meta-analyses and discern superiority of interventional treatments over another intervention, standard-of-care, or placebo in RD prevention and management. This paper summarizes the materials and methodology used in a set of meta-analysis studies that supplement the 2022 MASCC Clinical Practice Guidelines on RD Prevention and Management.
