What are the potential side effects of different cancer therapies?
Each type of cancer therapy comes with its own set of potential side effects. Chemotherapy can cause hair loss, nausea, and increased infection risk. Targeted therapies may lead to skin problems or hypertension. Immunotherapy can cause immune-related adverse effects, such as inflammation of the lungs or liver. Hormone therapy can result in hot flashes, fatigue, and bone thinning. Understanding these side effects helps in making informed decisions about treatment options.
