Clinical Analysis of Adverse Reactions Associated with the Use of Anticancer Chemotherapy Drugs

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the various adverse reactions observed in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and provide a basis for developing rational chemotherapy regimens. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 180 cancer patients treated between August 2014 and August 2016. All patients received chemotherapy, and the adverse reactions occurring during treatment were analyzed. Results: The types of adverse reactions in cancer patients after chemotherapy varied, but digestive system-related adverse reactions were more common, including nausea, hair loss, and diarrhea. In this study, the age distribution of the 180 cancer patients was analyzed. The results showed that 56 patients were aged 13–29 years, 72 patients aged 30–47 years, and 52 patients aged 48–67 years. Conclusion: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy have a high probability of experiencing adverse reactions, which can cause significant discomfort. In such cases, targeted interventions must be implemented to manage treatment-related adverse reactions and prevent their occurrence.
