First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This early study looks at whether breast cancer patients can use azelaic acid cream twice a day during radiation to help manage skin irritation. About 33 adults with darker or sun-sensitive skin who are getting radiation will try the cream. The goal is to see if it's practical and well-tolerated, not to treat the cancer itself.
