Abstract

It should be noted that aloe vera can prevent radiodermatitis by increasing the oxygenation of the lesion and reducing the local amount of dead tissue. The study also provides a greater understanding of the role of nurses in radiotherapy and skin rehabilitation. Conclusion: Aloe vera plays a decisive role in the prevention of radiodermatitis, being an innovative therapeutic agent in the area of dermatological and oncological nursing.
