Understanding HFS

Hand-Foot Syndrome

Hand-foot syndrome (HFS), or palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, is a common side effect of some types of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment. HFS is a skin reaction that you may experience as redness or swelling on the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet. Hand-foot syndrome causes intense burning on the hands and feet. Hand-Foot Syndrome (HFS) is a treatment-related side effect characterized by redness, swelling, pain, and irritation on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Another name for the condition is palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome.

"Hand-foot syndrome occurs due to small amounts of chemotherapy medication leaking out of the capillaries, which are small blood vessels present all over the body. The medication then damages the surrounding tissues, causing pain and discomfort that can affect a person’s quality of life to varying degrees. "
