Regofinib is a novel, oral, anticancer target which greatly improves survival of patients with colorectal cancer. However, it causes 47%-71% patients occur hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), which affects the quality of life (QOL) or prognosis of patients. However targeted and effective methods are rare. The study attempted to test the efficacy of the compound traditional Chinese medicine (CTCM) oil in relieving HFSR and improving the QOL.
