Abstract: Cancer represents a major global public health challenge and is associated with high incidence and mortality rates. Although antineoplastic therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies, are essential for disease control, these treatments frequently cause adverse effects in healthy tissues, particularly in the skin. Dermatological toxicities include cutaneous xerosis, radiodermatitis, hand–foot syndrome, papulopustular eruptions, nail alterations, and alopecia, which may compromise patient comfort, quality of life, and, in some cases, adherence to oncological treatment. In this context, dermocosmetics have been incorporated as complementary strategies in skin care, contributing to the restoration of the skin barrier, reduction of symptoms, and prevention of secondary complications. This chapter addresses the main pathophysiological mechanisms of cutaneous toxicities associated with antineoplastic therapies, describes the most frequent dermatological manifestations, and discusses the role of dermocosmetics and topical medical devices in the care of oncology patients. Examples of products available on the market, recommended active ingredients, and dermatological intervention strategies aimed at maintaining skin integrity during treatment are also presented. The adoption of these approaches, combined with specialized follow-up, contributes to improved patient comfort and overall well-being during cancer treatment.
