David Palma: Docetaxel and Skin Toxicity in Head and Neck Cancer
David Palma, Radiation Oncologist at London Health Sciences Centre and Professor at Western University, shared a post on X about a paper by Vijay Maruti Patil et al. published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology:
“H+N oncologists: anyone seeing high rates of severe skin toxicity with RT + concurrent docetaxel (15 mg/m2)?
Some of the skin reactions are the worst I’ve seen. Wondering if this is a cetuximab moment.”
