Efficacy and Tolerability Evaluation of a Topical MD Based on SHBF in Management of Radiodermatitis.

This is a post marketing, interventional, randomized, single-center, prospective, controlled study, for the evaluation of the clinical performance and tolerability of a cream-based medical device (DermoRelizemaTM cream) in the management care of radiodermatitis in women with breast cancer. Assessments and evaluations will be performed by a physician in a blind fashion.

The primary objective is Evaluation of the effects of DermoRelizemaTM cream in the management of the progression of RT-induced skin reactions and toxicity, using the grading system of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group / European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (RTOG/ EORTC), at the conclusion of the treatment period

This is a post marketing, interventional, randomized, single-center, prospective, controlled study, for the evaluation of the clinical performance and tolerability of a cream-based medical device (DermoRelizemaTM cream) in the management care of radiodermatitis in women with breast cancer. Assessments and evaluations will be performed by a physician in a blind fashion.

The aim of this clinical study is to collect controlled evidences of the effectiveness and tolerability of DermoRelizemaTM cream in the management of RISRs in patients with breast cancer who will start the treatment with the product about one week before the start of RT.
