EDU2604 | Dermatology for Cancer Patients
Episode 178
Monday, 20 April, 2026

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Dr. Azael Freites Martinez is joined by Prof. Zoe Apalla and Dr. Vincent Sibaud for a practical discussion on the dermatologic adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Together, they explore why the skin is so commonly affected, how to recognise the most frequent reactions in daily practice, and when cancer patients should be referred to a dermatologist. The conversation also highlights current management strategies for pruritus, eczematous, psoriasiform and lichenoid reactions, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the growing role of targeted and biologic therapies in supportive oncodermatology. The episode closes with an important reminder: many of these skin reactions are manageable, and timely dermatologic care can make a meaningful difference to both quality of life and cancer treatment continuity.
