Common skin side effects

HCC Patient on Sorafenib Develops Two Nodules says

"Cutaneous toxicity, however, is relatively common, perhaps even approaching 90%, in patients receiving this medication. The most frequent skin side effects include: a nonspecific maculopapular rash (34%), hand-foot syndrome (27% to 60%), initial appearance or worsening of psoriasis, facial erythema with or without edema, erythema multiforme, subungual splinter hemorrhages, stomatitis, alopecia, xerosis, eruptive nevi, inflammation of existent seborrheic keratoses, and induction of premalignant and malignant skin tumors.[4,5] Since the first report of sorafenib-associated squamous cell carcinoma in 2006,[6] about 50 patients have been reported to demonstrate cutaneous lesions with epithelial (epidermal) atypia, including an unmasking of numerous actinic keratoses, appearance of the classic keratoacanthoma subtype of squamous cell carcinoma, and development of classic ulcerated nodules of invasive squamous cell carcinoma." and

"it is noteworthy that other multikinase inhibitor agents that share a similar mechanism of action do not share this relatively high predisposition toward inducing cutaneous neoplasms." - Rod57 (talk) 23:57, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted as the (poor) ref is no longer used/needed by the article - Rod57 (talk) 14:27, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adverse effects section seems excessive

Most of the footnotes add nothing - none of the side effects have a source, and which of the rare side effects are notable ? - how do they compare with the control groups ? Could delete the footnotes and the lower half of the section, and mark as needing RS ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:25, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Both the uncurated list of side effects and footnoting are inappropriate. Dr G (talk) 18:27, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Structure in the box is incorrect

The 2D structure in the box is incorrect, while the 3D structure is fine. The pyridine nitrogen should be moved to the position oposite to the phenolic oxygen. 147.231.120.62 (talk) 14:56, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
