Efficacy of an aloe vera, chamomile, and thyme cosmetic cream for the prophylaxis and treatment of mild dermatitis induced by radiation therapy in breast cancer patients: a controlled clinical trial (Alantel Trials).

The study evaluated the use of a natural cream called Alantel for preventing and treating radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients. Alantel reduced redness, irritation, and promoted healing of skin lesions. This is important as it provides a potential alternative to pharmacological treatments with fewer side effects.
