- Abstract
- Erlotinib (Tarceva ®) is a new anti-cancer agent that acts by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signal transduction. It is currently used in the treatment of advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. A patient consulted our clinic and she had erythematous patches and vesicles on the submandibular area. She had taken erlotinib for the treatment of recurred lung cancer for 2 weeks. We report here on a case of radiation recall dermatitis that was induced by erlotinib in a 69-year-old woman who was previously irradiated on her submandibular area.
