Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicity

Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicity: Chemotherapy toxicity is a common and unfortunate consequence of therapy that can occur even at usual doses. Chemotherapy acts by damaging cancer cells; however, normal cells are susceptible to damage as well, and when this occurs chemotherapy toxicity ensues. Often these toxicities warrant emergency care. Timely recognition and appropriate management of chemotherapy toxicity is imperative.
