Are there any side effects associated with CDK inhibitors?
Like many targeted therapies, CDK inhibitors can have side effects. Common side effects include neutropenia, anemia, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. These side effects arise because CDKs are also essential for the proliferation of normal cells. Therefore, while CDK inhibitors can effectively target cancer cells, they also affect rapidly dividing normal cells, leading to adverse effects.
