Abstract

Many modalities exist for cancer therapy, and like most medical interventions, cancer therapies can produce side effects and complications. Ultimately, the goal in treating cancer is to prolong survival, and side effects are often unavoidable. Careful individualized planning is required to limit the risks and side effects of cancer treatment. The incidence and severity of side effects depend on the treatment method and on individual patient characteristics; for a given treatment, the incidence and severity of side effects can vary widely among patients [1].
