Changes in the Skin Microbiome of a Patient with Head and Neck Cancer with Severe Radiodermatitis: A Case Report
These findings demonstrated that changes in the skin microbiome occur during the progression of severe radiodermatitis. The reduction in <i>Cutibacterium</i> and overgrowth of <i>Staphylococcus</i>, particularly <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, suggest their involvement in the development of severe radiodermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer.
