| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study assessed the acute radiodermatitis in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy using objective assessment tools.The subjects were breast cancer and laryngeal cancer patients. We measured the skin surface temperature (SST), the hydration level (HL), the degree of melanin (melanin intensity: MI) and erythema (erythema intensity: EI) throughout before radiotherapy and three months after radiotherapy.
In breast cancer patinetns, the EI level was significantly higher after radiotherapy, 1month later and 3 months later than before radiotherapy. The MI level was significantly higher 1month after radiotherapy than before radiotherapy. The objective assessment tools we used in this study are noninvasive and may be useful for assessing the skin state of radiodermatitis.
