Hand-foot Syndrome after Capecitabine Intake

Hand-Foot Syndrome or Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia

Noted in one patient under Telemedical Consultation

Breast Cancer

59 / F

Had been taking Capecitabine continuously for 3 months prescribed by a medical oncologist.

She consulted me under ROJoson Telemedical Consultation on April 8, 2020.

After I saw her lesions on the hands and feet, I diagnosed her to have hand-foot syndrome secondary to capecitabine intake.

After telling her to stop the Capecitabine, April 23, 2020, complete resolution (2-3 weeks).
