How Does Cancer Treatment Trigger Anaphylactic Shock?
Cancer patients often undergo various forms of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other targeted therapies. These treatments can involve the use of drugs that the body may recognize as foreign, triggering an allergic reaction. Additionally, some patients may have pre-existing allergies that can be exacerbated by the introduction of new medications. The risk is also heightened for those receiving biologic therapies, which are derived from living organisms and can induce immune responses.
