What are the Side Effects of Platinum-Based Therapies?
While effective, platinum-based therapies come with a range of side effects. Common side effects include nephrotoxicity (kidney damage), neurotoxicity (nerve damage), ototoxicity (hearing loss), and gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and vomiting. Blood-related side effects like myelosuppression (reduced bone marrow activity) can also occur, leading to anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.
