Several strategies are employed to mitigate the toxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs:
Dosage Adjustment: Personalizing dosages based on patient characteristics and genetic factors can help reduce toxicity. Supportive Care: The use of growth factors, antiemetics, and hydration can help manage and prevent adverse effects. Drug Modifications: Developing new formulations or drug delivery systems to target cancer cells more specifically can minimize exposure to healthy tissues. Combination Therapy: Using drugs with different mechanisms of action can allow for lower doses of each, reducing individual toxicities.
