Summary

This study tested a preventive skin care routine for children (ages 6 months to 18 years) with brain tumors who were receiving targeted therapy (BRAF, MEK, or Pan-RAF inhibitors). The goal was to see if gentle skin care and sun protection could reduce skin reactions. 14 children participated, and researchers measured how many had skin reactions and how severe they were.
