Abstract: 【Abstract】 Cancer treatment related cutaneous adverse events (TRCAEs) are critical issues that significantly affect patients′ quality of life and treatment adherence. Approximately two-thirds of cancer patients develop at least one type of TRCAE within 3 months of therapy, and about one-third discontinue treatment as a result. In response, experts from the Committee on Skin Disease and Cosmetic Dermatology, China Association of Medical Equipment, the Patient Education Expert Committee, Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, and other related disciplines jointly developed the “Chinese expert consensus on multidisciplinary management of cancer treatment related cutaneous adverse events”. This consensus pioneers a multidisciplinary team framework integrating oncology, dermatology, nursing, and pharmacy. It establishes standardized tiered interventions and evidence-based management strategies for 7 major TRCAEs categories, encompassing prevention, basic care, pharmacotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Special attention is given to individualized treatment adjustments and nursing guidance for specific patient populations. Furthermore, the consensus emphasizes the importance of patient education and explores the adjunctive application of dermocosmetics. This consensus aims to offer evidence-based, standardized guidance for clinical practice to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
