The aim is to quantify the efficiency of the Safetac product MepitelĀ® Film on the prevention of radiodermatitis for cancer patients treated with external beam radiation therapy near the inguinal fold(s). Previous studies have looked into the differences in skin reactions for MepitelĀ® Film versus hydro-active colloid gel in breast cancer [1, 2] and head and neck cancer [3]. In breast cancer, the prevalence of radiation induced dermatitis has strongly decreased due to of modern radiotherapy techniques and fractionation. In the groin, however, this is not the case, and radiation dermatitis remains an important problem. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has looked into the efficiency of a prophylactic MepitelĀ® Film protocol in the inguinal fold. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the MepitelĀ® Film offers a lower degree of radiation-induced dermatitis compared to hydro-active colloid gel and thereby challenging the gold standard.
