⚠️ Specialist-supervised cancer therapy — this medication is started, monitored, and stopped by an oncologist or haematologist. Dosing depends on tumour type, stage, body surface area, organ function, and concomitant therapy. Self-treatment is not appropriate; the information below is educational and supports informed conversations with your specialist.
Differentiation syndrome (formerly retinoic acid syndrome) — fever, dyspnoea, weight gain, peripheral oedema, hypotension, pleural/pericardial effusion. Occurs days 5-21 of induction. Treat immediately with high-dose dexamethasone. Mortality rate ~10% if unrecognised. Mandatory haematology monitoring.

Biverkningar?
Class-typical: myelosuppression, nausea, alopecia, mucositis, fatigue. Specific toxicities depend on the drug — see safety boxes above.
Läkemedelsinteraktioner?
Cancer chemotherapy has multiple critical interactions. Always disclose all medications including herbals and supplements. Anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals all need review.
Graviditet?
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is teratogenic. Effective contraception during and for 6 months after for both partners.
Monitoring?
Specialist-determined — typically FBC, renal/liver function, electrolytes before each cycle. Drug-specific tests (echocardiogram for anthracyclines, audiometry for cisplatin, etc.).
Vad händer om jag missar en dos?
Oral cytotoxics: skip the missed dose, do not double up, contact your oncology team. IV: dosing is strictly scheduled — discuss any delay or missed cycle with the specialist.
Förvaring?
Oral cytotoxics: at room temperature, away from children, in original blister. Hand washing after handling tablets. Pregnant household members should not handle broken tablets.
Vaccines?
Live vaccines are contraindicated during chemotherapy. Inactivated vaccines (annual influenza, pneumococcal) are recommended. Coordinate with oncology for timing.
Long-term complications?
Class-dependent: secondary malignancy, infertility, cardiotoxicity, neuropathy. Discuss with oncology — fertility preservation may be relevant before starting.
When is treatment finished?
Determined by tumour response, treatment intent (curative vs palliative), and toxicity. Imaging and clinical assessment guide ongoing therapy.
