Aloe vera for prevention of radiation-induced dermatitis: A systematic review and cumulative analysis of randomized controlled trials

Conclusion: The current cumulative analysis revealed that patients pretreated with aloe vera were less likely to suffer from RID than the controls without using aloe vera. Based on this finding, the prophylactic application of aloe vera might significantly reduce the incidence of RID, especially in Grade 2 and Grade 3 RID. Further large-sample multicenter RCTs are still warranted to confirm these findings and for better clinical application.
