Résumé

Various biologic agents targeting specific molecules present new treatment options for various tumors. Acneiform eruption is a very common skin reaction to these agents. Although not life-threatening, acneiform eruption can affect patients' emotional and social lives. In very exceptional cases, it can lead to cancer therapy interruption. The aim of this study was to review the incidence rate, clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, and current management of acneiform eruption induced by molecularly targeted agents. This review was carried out through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane searching terms 'acneiform eruption', 'papulopustular eruption' or 'acne-like rash' and 'skin toxicity', 'cutaneous toxicity', 'skin reactions', 'dermatological toxicities', 'target therapy,' or 'drug therapy'. Of the 73 articles matched our search terms, 61 were original articles and 12 were case reports or case series. Acneiform eruption is most commonly observed in patients treated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors and mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. Typical lesions consist of erythematous papules and pustules without comedones, accompanying with burning, pruritus, or xerosis. The pathogenesis involves inflammation and abnormalities of the follicular epithelium, where a disorder in EGFR signaling plays a key role. The treatment of acneiform eruption depends on the severity of the rash. Early recognition and effective management of this cutaneous adverse reaction can prevent unnecessary reduction and discontinuation of drug use and improve patient survival and quality of life. Close collaboration between oncologists and dermatologists is important to optimize therapy and improve patient survival.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Various biologic agents targeting specific molecules present new treatment options for various tumors. Acneiform eruption is a very common skin reaction to these agents. Although not life-threatening, acneiform eruption can affect patients' emotional and social lives. In very exceptional cases, it can lead to cancer therapy interruption.
AIMS OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to review the incidence rate, clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, and current management of acneiform eruption induced by molecularly targeted agents.
METHODS METHODS
This review was carried out through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane searching terms 'acneiform eruption', 'papulopustular eruption' or 'acne-like rash' and 'skin toxicity', 'cutaneous toxicity', 'skin reactions', 'dermatological toxicities', 'target therapy,' or 'drug therapy'.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of the 73 articles matched our search terms, 61 were original articles and 12 were case reports or case series. Acneiform eruption is most commonly observed in patients treated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors and mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. Typical lesions consist of erythematous papules and pustules without comedones, accompanying with burning, pruritus, or xerosis. The pathogenesis involves inflammation and abnormalities of the follicular epithelium, where a disorder in EGFR signaling plays a key role. The treatment of acneiform eruption depends on the severity of the rash.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Early recognition and effective management of this cutaneous adverse reaction can prevent unnecessary reduction and discontinuation of drug use and improve patient survival and quality of life. Close collaboration between oncologists and dermatologists is important to optimize therapy and improve patient survival.
