title: [Skin changes with chemotherapy].
abstract: Skin changes in cancer patients have many causes and are difficult to categorize. Chemotherapy-associated cutaneous side effects are usually toxic and often show a characteristic reaction pattern, offering diagnostic clues to the consulting dermatologist. Severe chemotherapy-associated reactions which require dose reduction, change or discontinuation of the cytostatic agents are rare. Most problems are reversible and self-limiting disease. The most common chemotherapy reactions are reviewed.
