Abstract
Hand-foot syndrome, is a side effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy, causes erythema, dysthesias, swelling of palms and soles and sometimes blisters. Rarely, it may ulcerate. The most commonly used drug that frequently causes this reaction is 5-fluorouracil or its prodrug oral capecitabine. High dose cytarabine is known to cause HFS.
