Abstract

When using capecitabine, manifestations of toxicity in the form of palmar-plantar dysesthesia, redness, excessive sensitivity and peeling of the skin of the palms and feet are well known. However, in the scientific literature available to us, we did not find a single case of skin toxicity with capecitabine, in contrast to targeted therapy, for which skin manifestations are very characteristic. The dermal toxicity described in this paper developed as a result of patient noncompliance. These side effects reduced the adherence to therapy: the next courses of chemotherapy were postponed.
