A Simple Antibacterial Treatment Solves a Severe Skin Problem Caused by Radiation Therapy

Thursday, May 4, 2023

BRONX, N.Y., May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Acute radiation dermatitis (ARD)—characterized by red, sore, itchy or peeling skin—affects up to 95% of people undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. Severe cases can cause significant swelling and painful skin ulcers that can severely impair quality of life, yet little is known about why this condition occurs and no standardized treatments for preventing severe ARD have been widely adapted.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center (MECC) have found that many cases of ARD involve a common skin bacterium and that a simple, low-cost treatment can prevent severe cases, potentially setting a new standard of care for people undergoing radiation therapy.
  • Each year, 10 million people are treated with radiation therapy to reduce the size of their tumors.
  • Radiation weakens the skin's structure at the treatment site and can result in infection by allowing SA to break through the skin's outer layer.
  • In one of the JAMA Oncology studies, the MECC researchers enrolled 76 patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer.
