Common side effects of cancer treatment and how they are managed

Speciality: Oncology


Speaker:

Dr. Bharti Vishrant Mahadev | Consultant Medical Oncologist

Description:

Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, can cause a range of side effects. The most common include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and changes in appetite. These side effects can be distressing, but they are often temporary and manageable. For example, medications can help reduce nausea, and dietitians can provide guidance on maintaining nutrition. Fatigue is often addressed through gentle exercise and rest, while support groups can help with emotional challenges. Hair loss, though common, is usually reversible after treatment. Each patient’s experience is unique, so healthcare teams work closely with individuals to tailor side effect management, aiming to improve comfort and quality of life throughout treatment.
