Abstract
The agents used in cancer chemotherapy are highly potent and have only a slight margin of safety between the tumoricidal and toxic doses. The skin is a frequent target for the side effects of these drugs. Major cutaneous manifestations of toxicity include alopecia, cellulitis, hyperpigmentation, hemorrhage, and infection.Keywords
