Age: Older patients may have reduced tolerance due to age-related changes in metabolism and organ function. Overall Health: Pre-existing health conditions such as heart disease or diabetes can complicate treatment tolerance. Genetics: Genetic variations can affect how individuals metabolize drugs, impacting their tolerance. Nutritional Status: Malnutrition can weaken the body's ability to cope with treatment side effects. Lifestyle Factors: Smoking and alcohol use can impair the body's response to treatment.
