- Brief Summary
Finally, 40 patients were followed until 1 year after irradiation. The order of symptom manifestation for the qualitative evaluation was skin erythema, dryness, and pigmentation. Quantitative measurements revealed the effects of irradiation earlier than did qualitative indices. Although the grades of skin erythema and pigmentation were correlated with the quantitative measurements, no significant correlation was observed between the skin dryness grade and skin barrier function.
