Hello, can you take isotek at the same time after oncological surgery, excision of grade IV glioma and taking chemo?
I didn't ask the oncologist and I don't have an appointment until next month.
Thanks in advance
Paulina

Taking isotretinoin (Izotek) after oncological surgery and during chemotherapy should be carefully consulted with an oncologist. Izotek can affect the immune system and cause side effects that can be problematic in the context of oncological treatment.
Due to the lack of studies on the safety of isotretinoin in cancer patients, it is recommended that you wait for an appointment with a doctor who will assess your current health situation and make appropriate therapeutic decisions.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
