Hydrogel treatment to reduce skin damage after breast radiation
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a bacterial cellulose–based gel with a soothing ingredient (monolaurin) to help prevent or lessen painful skin reactions in the area receiving breast radiation. It focuses on people who have already finished surgery and chemotherapy and are about to start a planned radiation treatment schedule.
