Mometasone is a steroid cream. MASCC experts recommend it to help prevent the skin reaction that radiotherapy can cause.
The US label for mometasone furoate 0.1% cream covers "the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses" from 2 years of age. The MASCC Delphi consensus on acute radiation dermatitis (Lancet Oncol 2023) recommended six interventions for prevention: "photobiomodulation therapy and Mepitel film in people with breast cancer, Hydrofilm, mometasone, betamethasone, and olive oil". The Elocon NDA was approved on 30 April 1987.
