nephrotoxicity leading to lypomagnesemia and hypokalemia, myelosuppression, ototoxicity, peripheral neuropathies
carboplatin toxicities
myelosuppression (thrombocytopenia)
oxaliplatin toxicities
peripheral neurotoxicity exacerbated by cold, minimal nephrotoxicity & ototoxicity
anthracycline dose limiting toxicity
myelosuppression (leukopenia), cardiac toxicity
mitoxantrone dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia and cardiac toxicity. Urine may turn blue for 24-48 hr after dose.
topotecan dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Also, increased liver enzymes.
irinotecan dose limiting toxicity
diarrhea

may give loperamide 4mg to start, then 2mg q2h
vincristine maximum dose
2mg weekly
vinblastine and vinorelbine dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia and thrombocytopenia
vincristine dose limiting toxicity
neurologic toxicity, constipation, paralytic ileus (paralysis of intestine)
docetaxel- use in severe hepatic impairment?
Contraindicated in severe hepatic impairment. AST/ALT >1.5x ULN or AlkPhos >2.5x ULN
paclitaxel dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia. Also hypersensitivity, peripheral neuropathies, alopecia, mucositis
docetaxel dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia. Also hypersensitivity, peripheral neuropathies, alopecia, peripheral edema
dexamethasone reason it's given pre- and post- docetaxel?
to prevent fluid retention
ixabepilone dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia and peripheral neuropathies. Also, anemia, thromboctyopenia, diarrhea, alopecia
ixabepilone premeds
H1 and H2- no dex needed
antimetabolite mechanism
1) compete for binding sites on enzymes
2) incorporates directly into DNA or RNA
dacarbazine/temozolamide differences
dacarbazine is a prodrug activated in liver. Temozolamide activated at physiological pH.
Dacarbazine has +++ N/V, but temozolamide has +++ myelosuppression. Tem + rad = watch for PCP.
MTX, pemetrexed dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia & thrombocytopenia

Renal tubular necrosis with high dose therapy= vigorous hydration and alkylation of urine to decrease kidney damage
MTX levels increased by (3 methods)
1) highly protein bound drugs
2) NSAIDS that compete for renal excretion
3) Vit C acidifies urine and may increase levels
purine analog (thioguanine, mercaptopurine) dose limiting toxicity
leukopenia & thrombocytopenia
mercaptopurine & allopurinol?
mercaptopurine is metabolized by xanthine oxidase. Significant dose reduction required if given with allopurinol
cytarabine, gemcitabine dose limiting toxicities
leukopenia & thrombocytopenia
high dose cytarabine premeds
allopurinol to prevent TLS and dex eye drops to prevent conjunctivitis
5FU dose limiting toxicities
(bolus) leukopenia & thrombocytopenia
