    Résumé

    Multikinase inhibitors (MKIs, eg, sorafenib and sunitinib) are oral anticancer agents associated with handfoot skin reaction (HFSR), a cutaneous adverse event affecting 20%-40% of patients treated with these drugs. Although usually mild, symptoms of HFSR can evolve into a painful condition, resulting in a shortened duration or intensity of cancer treatment. An international, interdisciplinary panel of experts recently provided the first consensus recommendations for the management of MKI-associated HFSR.
