Overview
Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia or Hand-Foot syndrome is a skin-related reaction involving the palms an soles. It commonly occurs due to a reaction to different kinds of chemotherapeutic agent used to treat cancer. The first s. PPE may be classified into grade1, grade 2, grade 3, or grade 4 depending on toxicity rating. The pathophysiologic mechanism of Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia is under active investigation and different mechanisms have been postulated. Histologic biopsy is consistent with toxic reaction[1]. After extensive studies, it has been determined that Pegylated Liposomal doxorubicin deposits into the eccrine glands which is concentrated in the palms and soles which then causes a drug reaction and development of PPE.[2] Several Different types of Chemotherapeutic agents have been associated with the development of Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia. PPE must be differentiated from Acute Graft Versus Host Response, Tinea manuum and Hand-Foot reaction due to tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Epidemiology and demographics
PPE occurs in 6-42% of patients receiving chemotherapy.
Several authors have reported that the incidence of PLD-associated hand and foot syndrome for patients with any grade of PPE is about 50% and for patients with grade 3 and grade 4 PPE the incidence is about 20% [3], [4], for a PLD dose of 50 mg/m2 every 4 weeks. According to evidence, it has been determined that a dose of 40 mg/m2 every 4 weeks is at present considered equally effective and less toxic. This dose has become the preferred dosage[5].
