Question 26#

Cyclophosphamide

Match the chemotherapeutic agents with the most common side effects.

A. Hemorrhagic cystitis

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that cross-links DNA and also inhibits DNA synthesis. Hemorrhagic cystitis and alopecia are common side effects. Cisplatin causes renal damage and neural toxicity, therefore patients must be well hydrated. Its mode of action does not fit a specific category. Paclitaxel can produce allergic reactions and bone marrow depression. Bleomycin and doxorubicin are antibiotics whose side effects are pulmonary fibrosis and cardiac toxicity, respectively. Vincristine arrests cells in metaphase by binding microtubular proteins and preventing the formation of mitotic spindles. Peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect.
