dc.description.abstractObjectives: To review historical and current published studies on prevention and management of acuteradiation dermatitis.Data sources: Research studies, Review articles, Standard text booksConclusion: The literature showed no standard recommendation for the use of specifi c topical agentsfor prevention or management of acute radiation dermatitis. The researches studied on aloe vera gel,biafi ne cream, almond ointment, chamomile cream, Thêta-Cream® and topical vitamin E creamdemonstrated negative results for prevention and reduction of radiation induced skin alteration. Someevidence suggested the use of topical steroid, topical sucralfate/ sucralfate derivatives, hyaluronic acidcream and MDS065D.
