Meet the expert: Topical management of vulvar dermatoses
Journal of Geriatric Oncology(2022)
摘要
Vulvar dermatoses are often debilitating chronic skin conditions associated with pain and pruritus. In oncologic patients, cancer treatments can precipitate and exacerbate vulvar dermatoses. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapies, and local pelvic radiation therapy can lead to vulvar symptoms, and cancer treatment-induced vulvar conditions include graft-versus-host-disease and radiation dermatitis. There have also been reports of lichen sclerosus development or exacerbation secondary to hormonal therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, attributed to proposed hormonal and immunologic pathogenesis of lichen sclerosus. Early recognition and treatment of these conditions can significantly improve quality of life. In this review, we summarize the clinical features and management characteristics of six types of common vulvar dermatoses that may present in the oncologic patient.
