Summary

This study is testing if giving high-dose steroids can prevent or reduce severe skin reactions on the hands and feet caused by a specific chemotherapy drug (liposomal doxorubicin) used for breast cancer. Researchers will compare high-dose steroids, standard-dose steroids, and no steroids in 182 patients to see which best protects the skin. The goal is to help patients complete their full chemotherapy course without having to stop due to painful side effects.
