    It can be caused by both classical chemotherapy and target therapy. In the first group, those with the highest association are dacarbazine, 5-fluorouracil, tegafur, and capecitabine; in the second, vandetanib, vemurafenib, and nivolumab.6,19,20 In the present study, representatives of both classes were found to be responsible for this adverse effect (with two cases secondary to classic chemotherapy, due to the use of capecitabine and paclitaxel and one case due to the use of target therapy with vandetanib).
