Abstract
The article presents the results of the voting of the I St. Petersburg Consensus on Cosmetology in Cancer Patients "White Nights 2024" with the participation of oncologists, rehabilitation specialists and dermatologists-cosmetologists. The Consensus was attended by leading Russian experts who voted during a live broadcast on 16 questions relating to hardware, injections and aesthetic cosmetology for cancer patients.
There was 100% agreement that hardware, injection and aesthetic cosmetology procedures in oncology patients should be performed by a dermatologist-cosmetologist only after consultation with the treating oncologist. When treating cancer patients, the same precautions should be taken as for other patients, with particular attention to the presence of immunosuppression, skin toxicity, drug-drug interactions, interactions with existing malignant treatments, and oncological safety.
The experts unanimously recommended against the use of periosteal fillers in patients with malignant neoplasms who have received, are receiving, or are planning to receive osteomodifying agents: bisphosphonates or denosumab for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes, because of the risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw. Filler injection is not recommended for patients with malignant neoplasms who have received or may receive immunotherapy (anti-PD1/anti-PDL1 or anti-CTLA4).
The II St. Petersburg Consensus on Cosmetology in Cancer Patients "White Nights 2024" is scheduled for 4 July 2025.
