Preventing nail damage during chemotherapy

The princess of Wales like other men and women receiving cancer treatments are at risk of
developing troublesome and painful nail damage. Although not life threatening, hence deemed
inconsequential by some oncologists, it is yet another distressing side effect to cope with.
Fortunately, a topical plant-based therapy, developed by a team of oncologists and scientists
based in Bedford and Addenbrooke's Cambridge University Hospitals has put an end to the
distress and pain of treatment associated nail damage, but it remains under utilised in many
other oncology units.
