Apalutamide-induced life-threatening dermatologic toxicity: Clinical histopathological correlations and salvage therapies in four cases: Case report series

This case report highlights the importance of recognizing and managing apalutamide-associated skin AEs. The development of these AEs appears to be dose-dependent, and early discontinuation or dose reduction of the drug is crucial for controlling the symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists and dermatologists is recommended to optimize the treatment strategy and maintain the patients' quality of life.

Abstract

This case report highlights the importance of recognizing and managing apalutamide-associated skin AEs. The development of these AEs appears to be dose-dependent, and early discontinuation or dose reduction of the drug is crucial for controlling the symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists and dermatologists is recommended to optimize the treatment strategy and maintain the patients' quality of life.
