What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Received Concomitant Treatment Strategies to Manage Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE)

    Participants treated with Caelyx who developed PPE and the categories of specific treatment strategies that were prescribed to manage the symptoms of PPE.

    Participants counted under the strategies: Keep Skin Hydrated; Avoid Sweating and Physical Activity; Avoid Tight-Fitting Clothing; Local Cooling of Hands and Feet; were those who either always or sometimes followed it.

    Measured: Participants will do a single visit, but cases will be collected during a period of 12 months.

  2. Number of Participants That Received Curative Treatment and/or Prophylaxis Treatment for PPE

    The number of participants who were treated with Caelyx, and who received either prophylactic treatment alone, or curative treatment alone, or both prophylactic and curative treatment for PPE.

    Measured: Participants will do a single visit, but cases will be collected during a period of 12 months.
