Chemotherapy, at least possible damage to normal cells, the drug can kill cancer cells is a method of treatment. Chemotherapy prevents cancer cells from multiplying. The first is a method of treatment for cancer chemotherapy sometimes. However, chemotherapy is usually applied after other treatments. Chemotherapy is not affected by surgery or radiotherapy treatment would assist in killing cancer cells.

Some people must be treated in the hospital. Some people, the chemotherapy treatment may come to the hospital for several hours. In some cases treatment may be applied at home. Chemotherapy usually two or three-week intervals, each session will be applied a few days to a few hours. Treatment for several months, a period of time usually applies. Chemotherapy is usually applied with a needle from the vein. Some people, regular intravenous chemotherapy in order to assist in implementing a tube is inserted under the skin. This process prevents the vessels to be too much damage. Tubes, treatment remains under the skin until it ends. Chemotherapy also in tablets, injections to the muscles through the skin can be applied over the cream.

Chemotherapy can cause temporary side effects. With vomiting and nausea may cause loss of hair and body hair. Nausea and vomiting may be useful in eliminating drugs. Hair and body hair during chemotherapy treatment of deciduous finished a few months after the re-start to get out. Chemotherapy also can cause long-term side effects. In this context, can affect a person’s fertility.

Chemotherapy Drugs
Chemotherapy Treatment & Side Effects:
Listed below in the case and possible side effects of chemotherapy drugs are presented. The important point to keep in mind for each drug, these side effects can be seen, certain proportions or no side effects in some patients the emerging.

BCNU (Carmustine): Application to the inner vessel varies between 15 to 45 minutes. Shorter infüzyonlarda; vessels can be seen in the severe burning and swelling. Among the side effects of bone marrow suppression, these side effects are seen and usually occurs later. Other side effects, burning and pain along the vein is applied, the percentage flushing, nausea and vomiting. Among the rare side effects, often reversible liver and kidney function deterioration is seen. Long-term treatment was applied if the lung damage (toxicity) can cause to occur (shortness of breath are creating), and in this case may create a risk of death.

Bleomycin: Application intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intrakavital (lung membrane, into the peritoneum) is changed. Among the side effects of fever and severe skin reactions (played to black discoloration of the skin) as well as burning and inflammation of the skin, swelling and thickening is seen in the nail slot. Hair loss, itching and headache are among the side effects can be seen. 400U from reaching a higher total dose in the case of high-risk lung toxicity was observed.

Busulfan: Oral uygulanmaktadır.Yan effect as low dose applied low leukocyte count, the high dose pansitopenidir applied. In the lungs that leads to shortness of breath can cause fibroza but this is rarely fatal. Hormonal as gynecomastia (breast tissue growth), testicular damage or dysfunction, impotence and amenoreye (amonerrhea) olabilmektedir.Böbrek higher cause deterioration of gland function and skin are among the side effects common nigrescence.

Carboplatin (Paraplatin) in Vascular implemented. Side effects, particularly bone marrow suppression and increase the risk of bleeding with thrombocytopenia. These, as well as nausea, vomiting, and nephrotoxicity (kidney damage), neurotoxicity (in feet numbness and tingling in hands) and ototoxicity (hearing decrease in sensory) side effects that can be seen between them sisplatine Although relatively less. Rare side effects, the (less than 3%) hair loss, skin rash, scarring in the mouth and a cold case is similar (fever, chills, chills, headache, joint pain, muscle pain).

CCNU (Lomustin) is implemented through the mouth. Should be taken on an empty stomach. Dose limiting side effects, increasing the risk of infection, bone marrow suppression, bleeding and anemia are. Among other side effects, diarrhea, appetite loss, numbness, coordination disorder are included. Hair loss and temporary deficiency in liver function are among the side effects that may occur.

Chlorambucil (leukeran) is being implemented through the mouth. Erythrocytes of blood cells, leukocytes and platelets, leading to decreased bone marrow suppression is the dose limiting side effects. Applied in high doses, central nervous system, such as effects on the seizure and coma were observed. Although not very frequent stomach aches and bowel contractions may occur in the system. When used as a long-term treatment may be due to the formation of lung damage. Finally, this agent being used sperm formation can be pressure.

Cholrodeoxyadenosine (Cladribine): Application of continuous intravenous infusion ranged from 5 to 7 days. The main side effect of the decline is seen in neutrophil and lymphocyte cells. This decline occurred while bacterial infections to occur, due to drug suppression of the immune system can cause dangerous infections to occur. 50% of patients using this drug in the skin redness and rash formation was seen.

Cis-platinum: vein or body cavity through the patient’s fluid balance uygulanmaktadır.İlacı to use must be good. Fluid balance is insufficient in the event of side effects more severe than the emergence of kanıtlanmıştır.Böbrek function with inadequate, hearing difficulties which previously neuropathy (peripheral nervous system damage) exposed or cis-platinum allergy in patients with applying extremely cautious should behave. Side effects of nausea, vomiting and anaphylactic reactions (rapid pulse, wheezing, fallen blood pressure and percentage consisting of edema), kidney function impairment, hearing difficulties, hand and feet tingling and numbness creates nerve damage, bleeding and infection causing bone marrow suppression, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) imbalances and heart disease are.

Cytarabine (Ara-C): Application subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous as can be made. Dose limiting toxicity, usually of bone marrow suppression is to be emerging. High total dose applied to the permanent central nervous system damage may cause.

Side effects when given with chemotherapy for the heart is increased. When used in combination with other drugs are common side effects of mild and moderate in other upper respiratory tract infections.

Ifosfamide (Haloksan): Application to short-term through veins and around 30 minutes, although the long-term applications (up to 120 hours) are out. Support the use of high doses of mesna and fluid ifosfomid arising from the use hematüriyi (bloody urine) is required in order to prevent.

Hair loss, nausea, vomiting and bone marrow suppression are among the reported side effects. Neurological toxicity when used in high doses Ifosfamid may occur. Of seizures, difficulty in walking and weakness of such a complication was encountered.

Irinotecan (Campton): Application is via veins. Limiting side effects of diarrhea and low-dose is the number of leukocytes (increases the risk of infection). Other side effects, nausea, vomiting and hair loss. With fever and shortness of breath can be seen emerging pulmonary toxicity.

Dizziness, turbidity, chills, fever, was also experience side effects such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Mitoxantrone (Novantrone): Application path is from vessels. Ekstravazasyona of the drug (the drug leaking out of vessels) should be very careful not to lead. Dose of bone marrow suppression side effect is to restrictive. Other side effects of nausea, vomiting and stomatittir (sores in the mouth). Among the rare side effects, constipation and hair loss are available.

For heart side effects may occur. To prevent this, the maximum dose applied (toplamdozun) 160mg/m2 ’should not exceed.

Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin): Vascular via short-term or extended up to 120 hours continuous infusion can be applied. Nerve damage (hand and feet numbness and tingling of the lips sometimes) may be correct, but usually after discontinuation of the drug. Leukocytes and platelets in the blood can cause slight decreases.

Paclitaxel (Taxol): Application is via veins. During drug application, allergic shock and other allergic reactions raslanabilmektedir. These reactions; wheeze, shortness of breath, facial flushing, swelling and decreased blood pressure (hypertension) is.

Taxol ‘reputation is to bone marrow suppression is the dose limiting side effects. Numbness, tingling and pain occur with neuropathy (nerve damage) are the side effects that can be seen. Use of the drug can cut back when neuropathy. It usually takes several months of complaints, but lost. To slow down the heart rate (bradycardia) causes, but this is short term. Other side effects, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, hair loss, joint-muscle pain syndrome, including colds, fever, skin rash, headache and fatigue is.

The main side effect is to bone marrow suppression. These side effects blood leukocytes (white blood cells), is due to decline in the number of red blood cells and platelets. These decreases, increasing the risk of infection and bleeding, as the decrease in exercise tolerance and shortness of breath that is caused. Rarely, nausea, vomiting, constipation and abdominal pain are seen. Distress, headache, malaise, created in the jaw pains, urinary problems, and convulsions (involuntary contraction) emerged as the neurotoxicity (neuronal loss) are reported side effects.
