Traditional chemotherapies work by killing cells that divide rapidly. But as they wipe out fast-growing cancer cells, they also can damage fast-growing healthy cells. Damage to healthy blood cells can lead to side effects such as fatigue or infection. Chemotherapy can also damage the cells that line mucous membranes throughout the body, including those inside the mouth, throat, and stomach. This can lead to mouth sores, diarrhea, or other issues with the digestive system. With better control of side effects from chemotherapy, treatment can be a smoother process for many people with cancer. This module covers the management of common chemotherapy adverse events, and oncologic emergencies.,,Learning Objectives:,• Explain how to prevent major adverse effects if applicable ,• Assess and select appropriate medication management strategies to mitigate the common chemotherapy adverse effects ,• Identify appropriate patient and provider resources for adverse effect management ,,Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
