Abstract

The aim was to survey technologies for the prevention and/or treatment of radiodermatitis in patients with cancer
of the head and neck. An integrative review was undertaken of the literature in the month of July 2011 in the following databases:
the National Library of Medicine and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, using the PICO strategy (Population,
Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) for searching for articles which respond to the guiding question. Five articles were
obtained. The results of the clinical trials did not raise significant differences in the use of the products or cares in the prevention
and/or treatment of radiodermatitis in cancer of head and neck; the only study which concluded a product to be efficacious was
carried out without comparisons. It is inferred that there is no scientific evidence for the introduction of a product/care measure
for the prevention and/or treatment of radiodermatitis based on the results of this study.
