What Causes Allergic Reactions in Cancer Patients?
Allergic reactions in cancer patients can be triggered by various factors, including the cancer itself, treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy, as well as medications used to manage side effects. Hypersensitivity to certain drugs, such as platinum-based chemotherapeutics or monoclonal antibodies, is quite common. Additionally, cancer patients may be more susceptible to allergic reactions due to a weakened immune system.
