Febrile neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomatitis, hair loss, fatigue, allergic reaction, peripheral neuropathy these are the clinical manifestation of acute toxicity of chemotherapy while anemia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, non-infective cystitis, are the acute toxicity of radiotherapy. Osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, Cataract, Neuropsychiatric deficits, Neuropathy, Cardiomyopathy, Pulmonary dysfunction, Hepatorenal dysfunction and Infertility, are the chronic toxicities due to chemotherapy.
