Side Effects of Cancer Therapeutics in Clinical Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Significant advances in cancer therapeutics have translated into remarkable reduction in cancer mortality. However, these improvements come with the caveat of a range of side effects that affect different patients with different severities that clinicians and researchers have to manage and understand. Anthracycline-related heart failure and peripheral neuropathies related to taxane have been known since the 1970s, but progress in the prediction and prevention of these side effects and understanding the mechanisms of toxicity is poor. With the rise in new therapeutics and cancer survivors, improving our understanding of therapy-related side effects is an important and worthwhile goal. This Special Issue on “Side Effects of Cancer Therapeutics in Clinical Practice” aims to update researchers and clinicians by summarizing the acute and chronic side effects observed in the field and the progress made in the management, prediction, and mitigation thereof.
