Risici forbundet med øgede doser kemoterapi Der bør udvises særlig forsigtighed ved behandling af patienter med højdosis kemoterapi, da det ikke er påvist, at dette giver øget tumorrespons, og intensiv kemoterapi kan medføre øget toksicitet i form af påvirkning af hjerte, lunger, nervesystem og hud (se produktresumeet for de respektive kemoterapeutiske midler).
Risks associated with increased doses of chemotherapy Special caution should be used when treating patients with high dose chemotherapy because improved tumour outcome has not been demonstrated and intensified doses of chemotherapeutic agents may lead to increased toxicities including cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic and dermatologic effects (please refer to the Summary of Product Characteristics of the specific chemotherapy agents used).
