摘要

Background:Hand-foot syndrome (HFS), also known as palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia, is a common adverse effect of the fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy agent capecitabine. Hand-foot syndrome of any grade is reported to affect 43% to 71% of patients treated with single-agent capecitabine chemotherapy. Although not life-threatening, it can have adverse effects on the quality of life (QoL) and daily living activities of a patient.  Sometimes the dose interruptions and reductions required after observation of HFS can also impact on dose intensity and treatment outcomes.  As an option for the treatment of this case, we would reported our preliminary study of the effectiveness of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) for stage II and III HFS.   Methods:  We will evaluate the clinical sign and symptoms of hand foot syndrome grade II and III associated with capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy agent on advanced stage colorectal cancer.  All patients with HFS will treated with topical MEBO twice daily, the clinical improvement of the symptoms will be recorded.   Results: We reported 8 cases of grade II and III hand foot syndrome, 2 patients were grade III HFS and the others were grade II.  These symptoms occurred after 2 until 3 months after capecitabine administration for locally advanced (stage III) colonic adenocarsinoma.  Topical MEBO were used twice a day for 3 months, pain reduction was achieved with no capicetabine dose interruption and reduction during chemotherapy period.  Allergic reaction was not found during and after MEBO application in this case.   Conclusion:Moist exposed burn ointment was an effective treatment option in managing hand foot syndrome, better option in reducing the pain without interrupting the capecitabine doses.
