Summary

Although sorafenib is effective and safe in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it increases dermatologic toxicities, including hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), which may have a negative impact on patient quality of life (QoL). Urea-based creams may have a prophylactic effect on sorafenib-induced HFSR in HCC patients.
