As oncology programs are being developed, the realms of medicine and skin therapeutics are merging. Time, purpose and now urgency, brought on by the challenges that chemoradiation has on the cancer patient, including skin reactions and toxicities, have warranted a hastening of this convergence.

The coordinated team effort of patient, collaborative practitioner and oncologist is essential to ensure that the options, timing and type of treatment are all taken into account at each stage to optimize outcomes.

Patients are looking to private practices, oncology nurses, integrative medical facilities, naturopaths, massage therapists and aestheticians to provide accurate and professional treatment in oncology skin therapy. Oncology Skin Therapeutics ™ was established to educate practitioners on scientific medical skincare to aid oncology patients searching for alternative skin care therapies.
