What Are the Challenges in Chemotherapy Toxicology?
Despite advancements, several challenges remain:
Unpredictability: Individual responses can be unpredictable, with some patients experiencing severe toxicity while others do not. Long-term Effects: Late-onset toxicities, such as secondary cancers or organ dysfunction, can occur years after treatment. Resistance: Tumors can develop resistance to chemotherapy, necessitating higher doses that increase toxicity risk.
