Summary
This study looked at whether applying a diclofenac gel (a common anti-inflammatory) to the hands and feet can prevent or delay hand-foot syndrome—a painful skin reaction—in people with colorectal or stomach cancer taking the chemotherapy drug capecitabine. About 150 patients were followed to see who developed the condition. The goal is to find a simple way to reduce this side effect and keep patients on their cancer treatment.
