Hand-foot syndrome is one of the commonest ADRs due to the use of lenvatinib. Lenvatinib is an oral formulation that patients can take at their homes. Hence, educating patients regarding the HFS is important so that they report it to the treating physicians on time. It is also essential to educate patients regarding the precautions to be taken to avoid hand-foot syndrome. This will help the physicians with the early discontinuation and appropriate treatment with corticosteroids, which will help in improving the quality of life of the patients already suffering from cancer.
