Skin, hair, and nail (SHN) manifestations are common adverse effect of chemotherapy and can impair the quality of life of patients with cancer. However, little is known about their incidence among patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy or about the factors associated with them. We therefore conducted this study to explore SHN manifestations and their associated risk factors through the first two cycles of anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
