Brief Summary: RATIONALE Topical sunscreen may be effective in preventing skin rash caused by treatment with drugs such as erlotinib or cetuximab It is not yet known whether topical sunscreen is more effective than a placebo in preventing skin rash in patients receiving drugs such as erlotinib or cetuximab for cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying topical sunscreen to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing skin rash in patients receiving drugs such as erlotinib or cetuximab for cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the incidence and severity of erlotinib- cetuximab- or other epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor-induced skin rash development in patients with cancer treated with prophylactic topical sunscreen vs placebo
Determine the toxicity of topical sunscreen vs placebo in these patients
Determine whether discontinuation of treatment intervention is followed by rash development

OUTLINE This is a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study Patients are stratified according to chemotherapy regimen first-line chemotherapy vs other epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR inhibitor therapy small molecule vs monoclonal antibodies concurrent medication that increases sun hypersensitivity yes vs no and gender Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients apply sunscreen generously to the entire body twice daily for 4 weeks
Arm I Patients apply placebo generously to the entire body twice daily for 4 weeks

Patients complete self-reported questionnaires regarding their rash status at baseline and then weekly for 8 weeks

After completion of study treatment patients are followed for 8 weeks
