In daily clinical practice, acute adverse skin reactions due to radiation therapy (RT) are graded by the experienced eye of radiation oncologists. However, such subjective grading provides only rough estimates of radiation response. In addition, a great range of skin reactions can be observed even among patients undergoing similar treatments. The aim of our study was to implement a quantitative method, based on reflectance spectrophotometry...
