Cytotoxic chemotherapy has been a mainstay of cancer treatment since the 1940s. In the recent era of emergent targeted therapies and immunotherapies, many cytotoxic chemotherapy agents including temozolomide are still one of main weapons for the treatment of high grade gliomas. However, cytotoxic chemotherapy often causes side effects. Proper management of chemotherapy-induced toxicity can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life and clinical outcomes. Many supportive care advances have transformed our ability to give full doses of chemotherapy, which is important for achieving their full efficacy. Prevention and treatment strategies have been developed for many chemotherapy-related toxicities. This review focused on managing gastrointestinal toxicity, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and hematologic toxicities such as thrombocytopenia during cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment in high-grade brain tumors.
自20世纪40年代以来,细胞毒性化疗一直是癌症治疗的主要手段。在近期新兴的靶向治疗和免疫治疗时代,包括替莫唑胺在内的许多细胞毒性化疗药物仍是治疗高级别胶质瘤的主要武器之一。然而,细胞毒性化疗常常会引起副作用。对化疗所致毒性进行恰当管理,可对患者的生活质量和临床结局产生重大影响。许多支持性护理方面的进展改变了我们给予全剂量化疗的能力,这对于实现其全部疗效至关重要。针对许多化疗相关毒性,已经制定了预防和治疗策略。本综述聚焦于在高级别脑肿瘤的细胞毒性化疗治疗期间,对胃肠道毒性、化疗引起的恶心和呕吐以及血液学毒性(如血小板减少症)进行管理。
