TL;DR: A treatment approach for papulopustular rash based on the combination of fusidic acid plus betamethasone in a lipid-enriched topical formulation and the effectiveness of this approach is documented by the presentation of five cases successfully treated in clinical practice for anti-EGFR therapy-related rash.

TL;DR: It was shown that a PD-based cream can reduce the incidence of grade ≥2 skin toxicities in patients treated with afatinib, and this study evaluated the effect of topical application of a moisturizer containing PD to prevent skin rash in patients with mutated non-small cell lung cancer treated withAfatinib.

TL;DR: A carbohydrate restricted diet is feasible in selected patients with advanced cancer, resulting in reduced serum insulin concentration and ketosis, supporting further evaluation of CR as a means of insulin secretory inhibition, and as a complementary approach in conjunction with standard and endocrine therapies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the feasibility of carbohydrate restricted diets in patients with advanced FDG-avid cancers and compared exit vs. baseline PET scan changes as surrogate measures for tumor response.
