What Are the Common Toxicities Associated with Cancer Therapy?
Cancer therapies are often associated with various toxicities that can affect different organs. Common toxicities include myelosuppression, gastrointestinal disturbances, cardiotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. These adverse effects can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life and may limit the dosing or continuation of therapy. Understanding these toxicities is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate them.
