ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) monoclonal antibodies are effective in treating RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, their administration induces skin toxicity, markedly reducing patients' quality of life. This study is aimed at identifying the risk factors associated with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody-induced skin toxicities.METHODS:
Patients with mCRC (n = 116) who received anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody treatment were retrospectively evaluated. Primary endpoint was evaluation of the risk factors for grade ≥ 2 overall skin toxicities during all the treatment periods. Furthermore, factors associated with each grade ≥ 2 skin symptoms were assessed.RESULTS:
Incidence of total grade ≥ 2 skin toxicity symptoms was 61.2%, and those of grade ≥ 2 rash, dry skin, fissures, and paronychia were 34.5%, 25.9%, 20.7%, and 25.0%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that liver metastasis was an independent risk factor for overall grade ≥ 2 skin toxicities (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-6.78; P = 0.02) and prophylactic administration of antibiotics as a preventive factor (OR 0.10; 95%CI 0.01-0.91; P = 0.04). For grade ≥ 2 rash, prophylactic use of systemic antibiotics and topical steroid ointment was a preventive factor (OR 0.37; 95%CI 0.16-0.89; P = 0.03). Moreover, liver metastasis (OR 8.37; 95%CI 1.98-35.47; P = 0.004) and prophylactic administration of antibiotics (OR 0.15; 95%CI 0.03-0.76; P = 0.02) were significantly associated with grade ≥ 2 paronychia.CONCLUSION:
Liver metastasis was suggested to be a risk factor for the incidence of overall grade ≥ 2 skin toxicities; moreover, preemptive systemic antibiotic administration drastically decreased this risk during all periods of anti-EGFR treatment for mCRC.Palavras-chave
