The purpose of this study is to see how skin conditions that are related to different kinds
of cancer or cancer treatments affect a patient's overall well-being. Skin conditions are
common in cancer patients and survivors. Sometimes, the skin condition is directly related to
the cancer. Other times, these conditions are a side effect of cancer treatment. Patients in
the study will be asked to fill out at least one questionnaire about how they feel about
their skin condition. If the patient needs to be treated for their skin condition, they will
be asked to complete the same questionnaire when they return for a follow-up visit. The
investigators hope the study will improve our understanding of how cancer patients feel about
their skin conditions. They also hope this study helps them learn how to improve the way we
treat skin conditions in cancer patients.
