Radiation recall dermatitis.
- Authors
Ristić, Biljana
- Abstract
Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) is the development of an inflammatory reaction throughout a previously irradiated area, precipitated by the administration of certain drugs. Recall trigger drugs are usually, but not exclusively, intravenous cytotoxics. RRD is defined as a skin reaction, with all the clinical signs of inflammation, in a previously irradiated field subsequent to drug administration days to years after exposure to ionizing radiation. Usually, RRD has been reported in association with chemotherapeutic drugs, given as monotherapy.
