Abstract
Dermatological toxicities (affecting the skin, mucous membranes, nails or hair) are frequently associated with cancer treatments. They can represent a real burden for patients, with physical, social and psychological repercussions. These dermatological adverse events can also persist long after the treatment has ended, especially after treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents such as taxanes. There is a clear need for the development of suitable supportive care measures to help manage these toxicities. The place of a hydrotherapy treatment in this context remains to be clarified. This article summarizes the main data available on the quality of life, and more specifically the dermatological quality of life, of patients for whom hydrotherapy was proposed after breast cancer. © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS.
