Chemo Side Effects 101 – The Worst Offenders, and How to Mitigate Them

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is a foundational tool in the treatment of childhood cancers.  These agents, used alone or in combination, have been pivotal to the sharp increase in survival rates for pediatric oncology patients over the past four decades.  Despite all of these successes, the administration and monitoring of patients treated with these drugs remain complex, high risk, and challenging.  This workshop will provide an introduction to chemotherapy agents.  Mechanisms of action, common and important toxicities, and tips around safe administration and the management of complications will be discussed in an interactive environment.
