HFS is a typical Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a common skin reaction to systemic therapy that should be anticipated with chemotherapeutic treatments such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, docetaxel, and fluoropyrimidines
What are the clinical features of hand-foot syndrome? 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) capecitabine (Xeloda®) docetaxel (Taxotere®) cytarabine (Cytosar®) doxorubicin (Adriamycin®) liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil®) Are certain patients more likely to develop hand-foot syndrome? Hand-foot syndrome occurs more often in patients who are taking capecitabine

Celecoxib (Celebrex), 200 mg twice daily, has been shown to delay the onset and decrease the incidence of grade 1/2 hand-foot syndrome from capecitabine
1 Histologically, changes in keratinocytes and vacuol Capecitabine is usually well-tolerated because of the absence of systemic 5-FU exposure, but capecitabine can cause side effects
Hand foot syndrome (HFS) is a dose-limiting toxicity of Capecitabine
Hand-foot syndrome was one of the leading causes of capecitabine discontinuation [83 C]
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a topical heparin (TH) treatment on the clinical manifestations and anatomopathological alterations of capecitabine-induced HFS

Hand-foot syndrome causes redness, swelling, and pain on the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet
However, when HFS reaches Grade ≥ 2, capecitabine therapy should be stopped instantly and restarted at a reduced dose after the toxicity settles down to Grade 1
Symptoms include: redness, swelling, tingling or burning sensation, tenderness, sensitivity to touch, tightness of the skin, thick calluses or blisters on the palms of hands and/or soles of feet, cracking, flaking or peeling of the skin, soreness or severe pain
Most often, it is administered in a 2 weeks on, 1 week off schedule
1 HFS presents with diffuse painful oedema and redness of palms and soles
Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a serious dose-limiting cutaneous toxicity of capecitabine-containing chemotherapy, leading to a deteriorated quality of life and negative impacts on chemotherapy Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE), also called hand-foot syndrome, is a relatively common dermatologic toxic reaction associated with cytotoxic chemotherapy that can limit the use of such drugs
Grade II-III toxicity is seen in 10-50%of the patients and may lead to discomfort with activities of daily living
Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) has proven to be a chronic dose-limiting toxicity of capecitabine, leading to significant morbidity in patients receiving this agent
Erythema, dysesthesia, pain, cracking and desquamation located on palms and soles are the most characteristic manifestations
The areas affected can become dry and peel, with numbness or tingling developing
The left hand (including both feet) demonstrated typical symptoms of hand Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is a promising treatment for colorectal, breast and gastric cancers, but often causes hand-foot syndrome (HFS), the most common dose-limiting toxicity
Hand-foot syndrome was reported in 116/179 (64
Because severe reactions were rare, hand-foot Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is the most common adverse event induced by capecitabine
We report the case of an elderly patient undergoing chemotherapy after a breast cancer surgery who developed symptoms two months after 20615 Background: Hand foot syndrome (Palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia) is common side effect of capecitabine
Objective: To compare the incidence and time to onset of grade 2 or greater HFS in patients receiving pyridoxine vs placebo and to identify biomarkers predictive of HFS
The pathophysiology of the hand-foot syndrome is largely unknown
Symptoms can sometimes occur in other areas, such as the knees or elbows, but this is less common

The hand-foot syndrome always preceded the onset of fingerprint loss; however, the severity of the hand-foot syndrome varied from grade 1 to grade 4
HFS manifests as acral erythema, with swelling and dysesthesia of the palms and plantar aspects of the feet, which in the absence of dosage reduction or drug cessation, progresses to moist desquamation and ulceration, resulting in serious infections and loss of function
