    A proteção solar e a hidratação são essenciais durante a terapia do câncer. A pele pode ficar mais sensível e suscetível a danos devido aos tratamentos, como quimioterapia e radioterapia. O uso de protetor solar de amplo espectro ajuda a prevenir queimaduras solares e danos causados pelos raios UV, que podem agravar os efeitos colaterais da terapia. Além disso, a hidratação com cremes emolientes mantém a pele macia e evita o ressecamento e a descamação, proporcionando conforto e melhorando a qualidade de vida do paciente. Portanto, adotar esses cuidados é fundamental para proteger a pele e promover o bem-estar durante o tratamento do câncer.
