The side effects of chemotherapy depend mainly on the drugs and the doses the patient receives. Generally, anticancer drugs affect cells that divide rapidly. These include blood cells, which fight infection, help the blood to clot, or carry oxygen to all parts of the body. When blood cells are affected by anticancer drugs, patients are more likely to develop infections, may bruise or bleed easily, and may have less energy. To prevent infections, patients taking chemotherapy should wash their hands frequently, avoid sick people and crowds, immediately clean cuts and scrapes, avoid contact with animal waste, and notify their doctor if they develop chills, sweats or fever at 101 degrees or greater. To prevent bleeding, they must avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or any medication without the consent of their doctor and avoid cuts with razors, knives, etc. The doctor should be notified with any signs of bleeding, such as blood in stools, vaginal spotting, bleeding gums, vomiting or coughing up blood, and bruising.

Often, patients who need many doses of IV chemotherapy receive the drugs through a catheter (a thin flexible tube). One end of the catheter is placed in a large vein in the chest. The other end is outside the body or attached to a small device just under the skin. Anticancer drugs are given through the catheter. This can make chemotherapy more comfortable for the patient. Patients and their families are shown how to care for the catheter and keep it clean. For some types of cancer, doctors are studying whether it helps to put anticancer drugs directly into the affected area.
