Do side effects vary between different types of cancer treatments?
Yes, side effects can vary significantly depending on the type of treatment. For example, chemotherapy often causes systemic side effects like hair loss and anemia, while radiation therapy tends to cause localized side effects such as skin irritation and fatigue in the treated area. Immunotherapy may lead to immune-related side effects like colitis or pneumonitis. Understanding the specific side effects associated with each treatment can help in better managing them.
