receptor)commonlyused inthemanagementofpatientswithHER2positivebreastcancer, especiallywhentheagentisdeliveredwithdoxorubicin(80).
A common toxicity of the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab is the development of hypertension(81).Inapatientwithpreexistingcardiacabnormalities,thishasthepotential
tocausedeteriorationofheartfunction.Thisconcernislikelytoincreaseasuseofthisclass ofagentbecomesmorestandardintheclinicalmanagementofgynecologicmalignancies.
GenitourinaryToxicity
In patients with cancer, chronic azotemia oracute renalfailuremay be produced by fluid depletion, infection, tumor infiltration of the kidney, ureteric obstruction by tumor,radiationdamage,andtumorlysissyndrome(82,83).
Drugsthatcausekidneydamageincludethefollowing:
1. Cisplatin, which produces renal tubular toxicity associated with azotemia and calcium
andmagnesiumwasting(84)
2. Methotrexate, which canprecipitatein the renal tubules,causingoliguric renal failure.
Methotrexate toxicity can be prevented by maintenance of a high urine volume and alkalinizationoftheurine
3. Nitrosoureas,whichcauseachronicinterstitialnephritiswithchronicrenalfailure
4. Mitomycin C, which causes a systemic microangiopathic hemolysis and acute renal
failure
Metabolites of cyclophosphamide are irritants to the bladder mucosa and rarely cause a chronic hemorrhagic cystitis, particularly during high-dose or prolonged treatment. Vigoroushydrationanddiuresiscanreducetheriskofthiscomplication.
N-acetylcysteine or mesna (sodium mercaptoethane sulfonate) has been used in conjunctionwithveryhighdosesofcyclophosphamideorifosfamidetopreventbladder toxicityby inactivating the toxicmetabolite(acrolein).Persistent hemorrhagic cystitis that
does not respond to conservative management may be treated with epsilon-aminocaproic acid.
Neurotoxicity
Many antineoplastic drugs are associated with some central or peripheral neurotoxicity. Theseneurologicsideeffectsusuallyaremild,butoccasionallymaybesevere(85,86).
VincaAlkaloids
Thevincaalkaloids(vincristine,vinblastine,andvindesine)arecommonlyassociatedwith
peripheralmotor,sensory,andautonomicneuropathies,whicharethemajorsideeffects
ofvincristine.Toxicityfirst appearsaslossofdeeptendonreflexeswithdistalparesthesia. Cranialnervescanbeaffected,andtheautonomicneuropathycanappearasadynamicileus, urinary bladder atony with retention, or postural hypotension. All of these neurologic toxicitiesfromthevincaalkaloidsmaybeslowlyreversibleaftercessationofthedrug.
Cisplatin
Cisplatinproducesototoxicity,peripheralneuropathy,and,rarely,retrobulbarneuritis andblindness. High doses of cisplatinareparticularly likely to producea progressive and somewhat delayed peripheral neuropathy. This defect is characterized by sensory
impairment and loss of proprioception, whereas motor strength usually is preserved. Progressionofthisneuropathy1to2monthsaftercessationofhigh-dosecisplatinhasbeen reported(87,88).
Paclitaxel
Paclitaxelis associatedwiththe developmentofa peripheralsensoryneuropathy. The incidenceandseverityofsymptomsrelatetothepeaklevelsoftheagentintheplasma(89). The combination of paclitaxel and cisplatin (or carboplatin) has the potential to be more neurotoxicthaneitheragentusedalone.
OtherDrugs
Rarely, 5-fluorouracil can be associated with an acute cerebellar toxicity, apparently relatedto its metabolism to fluorocitrate, aneurotoxicmetabolite of the parent compound.
Hexamethylmelamine has also been reported to produce peripheral neuropathy and encephalopathy(90).
VascularandHypersensitivityReactions
Occasionally,severehypersensitivityreactionsintheformofanaphylaxisdevelopwith chemotherapeutic agents (91). In rare cases, this has been associated with
cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, intravenous melphalan, and high-dose methotrexate.Bleomycinadministrationmaybeassociatedwithmarkedfebrilereactionsor anaphylaxis. The same reactions have been reported with procarbazine, etoposide, and teniposide.
Hypersensitivityreactionsaresometimesseenwithpaclitaxelandarebelievedtoresultfrom hypersensitivity to the cremophor vehicle. They can be ameliorated with the use of dexamethasone,diphenhydramine,andcimetidinebeforepaclitaxelisadministered.
Carboplatin and cisplatin may be associated with a significant risk of hypersensitivity reactionsinpatientswhohavebeentreatedwithmorethansixcoursesofaplatinumagent
(92).
SecondMalignancies
Manyantineoplasticagentsaremutagenicandteratogenic.Thepotentialfortheseagents to induce second malignancies appears to vary with the class of agent (93). Alkylating agents(especiallymelphalan),procarbazine,andthenitrosoureasseemtobethemajor offenders. Prolonged use of etoposide has been associated with the development of
leukemia.
The cumulative 7-year risk of developing acute nonlymphocytic leukemia in patients treatedprimarily with oral melphalan for ovarian cancer has been reported to be as highas9.6%inpatientsreceivingtherapyformorethan1year(94).Althoughcisplatin
hasbeenassociatedwiththedevelopmentofacuteleukemia,theriskislowerthanwiththe alkylatingagents(95).
Evidencefromlong-termstudiesofHodgkindiseasesuggestsamajorriskwithcombined chemotherapy and radiation therapy (96,97). In such patients, there is a risk of acute leukemiaand anincreasedincidence ofsolid tumors, seenparticularly withintheradiation fields. The long-term follow-up of women cured of choriocarcinoma, primarily with antimetabolitetherapy,hasrevealednoincreasedriskofasecondmalignancy.
Radiation alone appears to produce a relatively low risk of late leukemia, as do chemotherapeutic regimens alone, particularly those without alkylating agents or procarbazine. Combination chemotherapy (including cisplatin-based treatment of ovarian cancer)andlimited-fieldradiationtherapyonlyslightlyincreasetherisk.
Patientsatincreasedriskincludethosewhohavereceivedthefollowing:
1. Extensiveradiationtherapypluscombinationchemotherapy
2. Prolongedalkylatingagenttherapy(longerthan1year)
3. Highdosesofcertaindrugssuchasetoposide
GonadalDysfunction
Manycancerchemotherapeuticagents haveprofoundandlastingeffects ontesticular and ovarian function. Chemotherapeutic agents, particularly alkylating agents, can cause
azoospermiaandamenorrhea.Secondarysexualcharacteristicsrelatedtohormonalfunction are usually less disturbed. Prolonged intensive combination chemotherapy commonly producesazoospermiainmen,andrecoveryisuncommon.
Theonset of amenorrhea and ovarianfailureis accompanied by anelevationof the serum
follicle-stimulatinghormone(FSH) andluteinizinghormone (LH)levels,andadecrease in theserumestradiollevel.
When short-term intensive chemotherapy is used, particularly with antimetabolites, vinca alkaloids, or antitumor antibiotics, injury to the reproductive system is less common. For example,mentreatedfortesticularcancer,childrenwithacuteleukemia,andwomencured
ofgestationaltrophoblastic diseaseorovarian germ cellmalignanciesusuallyrecover reproductivecapacityaftertherapy(98100).
AntineoplasticDrugs
AlkylatingAgents
Thisclassofantineoplasticagentacts primarily by chemically interacting with DNA.
Thesedrugsformextremelyunstablealkylgroupsthatreactwithnucleophilic(electron-rich) sitesonmanyimportantorganiccompoundssuchasnucleicacids,proteins,andaminoacids. Theseinteractionsproducetheprimarycytotoxiceffects.
Mechanism
Alkylating agents impair cell function by transferring alkyl groups to amino, carboxyl, sulfhydryl, or phosphate groups of biologically important molecules. Most importantly, nucleicacids(DNAandRNA)andproteinsarealkylated.Alkylationofguanineresultsin abnormal nucleotide sequences, miscoding of messenger RNA, cross-linked DNA strands thatcannotreplicate,breakageof DNAstrands, and other damage to the transcription and translationofgeneticmaterial.Theprimarymodeofactionformostalkylatingagentsis by means of cross-linking of DNA strands leading to breaks of DNA. Such abnormal DNA is not able to complete the replication cycle and that leads to cytotoxicity. Tumor resistancetothesedrugsappearstoberelatedtothecapacityofcellstorepairnucleicacid damage and to inactivate the drugs by conjugation with glutathione. There are many alkylating agents; those most commonly used include cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide (Table4.8).Inaddition,severalotherantineoplasticagentsofdifferenttypesareusuallyalso classifiedas alkylating-like agents andincludethe platinum analogscisplatin,carboplatin, andoxaliplatin(Table4.9).

Drugs
Cyclophosphamide
Cyclophosphamideisusedinawidevarietyofconditions.Amongthemanyindicationsare Hodgkindisease,lymphoma,leukemia,ovariancancer,orbreastcancer.The nativedrugis inactive and requires activation by the liver p450 microsomal oxidase system. Active and inactive metabolites are excreted in the urine. Degraded products are responsible for hemorrhagic cystitis which can be prevented by maintaining a high urine output. Hemorrhagiccystitiscanoccur whenhigherdosesareused.Commonsideeffectsinclude alopecia and stomatitis. Nausea and vomiting are common after doses of 700 mg/m2 or more(101).
Ifosfamide
Ifosfamideisusedforthetreatmentoflymphomas,sarcomas,andrelapsedtesticulartumors. Ifosfamide leads to the formation of DNA–DNA cross-links. The drug undergoes hepatic
activationandthemetaboliteistoxicfortheurothelialmucosa.Themetabolitemayalsobe responsible for much of the neurotoxic effects. Dose-limiting toxicities are
myelosuppression, hemorrhagic cystitis, and encephalopathy. Common side effects includealopecia,nausea,andvomiting(102).
Thiotepa
Thiotepais usedforintracavitary therapyof malignanteffusions,isgivenas intravesicular
therapy for urinary bladder cancers and as intrathecal therapy for leptomeningeal disease.
Thiotepa alkylates guanine which causes DNA cross-linking. Dose-limiting toxicity is myelosuppression(103).
Cisplatin
Cisplatin is used for the treatment of a variety of malignancies. Platin-analogs covalently bindtoproteins,RNA,andespeciallyDNA,formingplatinum-basedcross-links.Resistance tocisplatininvolvesalterationsintransmembranetransporterproteins,intracellularlevelsof glutathione,andthe capacityto repaircisplatinDNAlesions.It iswidelydistributedinthe body except for the CNS. Cisplatin,carboplatin, and oxaliplatin are considered to be cell cycle–nonspecificbifunctional alkylatingagents. Asopposed toclassicalalkylating agents, theypredominantlybindtoDNAtocauseintrastrandcross-linksandadductsthatchangethe conformationofDNAandaffectDNAreplication(104).

andcanbecomedose-limitingwhenthecumulativecisplatindoseexceeds400mg/m2.
Ototoxicitywithtinnitusandhigh-frequencyhearingloss.Thisoccursin5%ofpatients, and is more common in patients receiving doses of more than 100 mg/m2 by rapid infusion,orhighcumulativedoses.
Common side effects include severe nausea and vomiting (both acute and delayed), hypomagnesemia and mild myelosuppression. Alopecia can occasionally occur. In addition,patientsoftenreportlossoftasteorametallictaste.
Carboplatin
Carboplatinisaheavymetalalkylating-likeagentwithmechanismsofactionverysimilarto cisplatinbut with a differenttoxicityprofile. Dose-limiting toxicity is myelosuppression.
Commonsideeffectsincludenauseaandvomiting,nephrotoxicity(butlesssevereandless commonthanwithcisplatin).Occasionaltoxicitiesincludehypersensitivityreactionsand peripheralneuropathy.Raresideeffectsincludealopecia,skinrash,andototoxicity(105).
Patients may develop hypersensitivity reactions to carboplatin especially when being re­exposedtothedrugfortreatmentofrecurrentdisease.
Oxaliplatin
Oxaliplatinisusedforthetreatmentofcolorectal,pancreatic,andgastriccancers.Oxaliplatin causes DNA intrastrand and interstrand cross-links. Oxaliplatin undergoes extensive nonenzymaticconversiontoitsactivemetabolite.Thedrugispredominantlyclearedthrough the kidneys. Dose-limiting toxicities include acute dysesthesia to the hands, feet and perioral area, and peripheral sensory neuropathy. In contrast to cisplatin, ototoxicity occursrarely.Commonsideeffectsincludenauseaandvomiting,diarrhea,fatigue,and mild-to-moderatemyelosuppression. Occasional side effects include mild nephrotoxicity, stomatitis,andtastealterations(106).
Trabectedin
Trabectedinisusedforthetreatmentofliposarcomaorleiomyosarcomaafteranthracycline­containing regimens. In Europe, it is also approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Trabectedinbinds to guanine residues in the minor groove of DNAforming adducts, and resultinginabendingoftheDNAhelixtowardthemajorgroove.Trabectedinaffectsbinding of transcription factors and DNA repair. It is mainly metabolized in the liver and only a negligible amount is excreted in urine. The drug is delivered as a 24-hour continuous infusion. Dose-limiting toxicities have been rhabdomyolysis (the level of creatinine phosphokinaseshouldbemonitoredbeforeeachdose),severecardiomyopathy(abaseline echocardiogramshouldbeobtainedandrepeatedevery2to3monthswhileontherapy)and neutropenia. Common side effects include thrombocytopenia, anemia, nausea, fatigue, vomiting,anddiarrhea(107).
Thecharacteristics ofthe commonlyused alkylatingagentsarelistedin Table4.8, andthe alkylating-likeagentsarelistedinTable4.9.
AntitumorAntibioticsandTopoisomeraseInhibitors
Antitumor antibiotics generally are drugs derived from bacteria which in nature provide defense against other hostile microorganisms. They act by a variety of mechanisms. Topoisomerase inhibitors are natural or semisynthetic products. DNA topoisomerase is an enzymethataltersDNAtopologybycausingandresealingDNAstrandbreaks.
Mechanism
SeveralofthesedrugsinterferewithDNAthroughintercalation,areactionwherebythedrug inserts itself between DNAbase pairs. Intercalation prevents DNAreplication and mRNA production.Other drugs haveotheractions. These naturalproducts usually haveextremely complex and different chemical structures, although they generally function by forming complexes with DNA. This class of antineoplastic agents is thought to be cell cycle– nonspecific.TopoisomerasesbindtoDNA domains, forming a “cleavablecomplex”which allowsDNAtounwindinpreparationforcelldivision.TopoisomeraseIrelaxessupercoiled DNA. Topoisomerase II catalyzes the double-stranded breaking and resealing of DNA, therebyallowingthepassageofonedoublehelicalsegmentofDNAthroughanother.
Drugs
ActinomycinD
ActinomycinD(Table4.10)isusedforthe treatmentoftrophoblasticneoplasms,sarcomas, testicularcarcinoma,andWilmstumor.ActinomycinDintercalatesbetweenDNAbasepairs andinhibitstopoisomerase II.It extensivelybindstotissues,resulting inalonghalf-lifein plasma and tissue. Dose-limiting toxicity is myelosuppression. Common side effects includenausea, vomiting,andalopecia. The drug isa vesicant and cancause necrosis if extravasationoccurs.Occasionaltoxicitiesincludestomatitis,glossitis,diarrhea,andelevated liverfunctiontests(108).
Bleomycin
Bleomycin is used for the treatment of lymphomas, testicular carcinomas, and germ cell tumors.Itis a mixture of glycopeptides thatbindto DNAand form complexes with Fe2+. OxidationofFe2+leadstothecreationofsuperoxideandhydroxylradicals.Bothfreedrug and metabolic products are excreted into the urine. The main dose-limiting toxicity is
pneumonitis with a dry cough, interstitial radiographic changes, reduced pulmonary diffusing capacity,and hypoxia. Pulmonary fibrosis occurs in 1% of patients receiving
cumulative doses of less than 200 U/m2, and in 10% of patients receiving larger doses.
Patients should be monitored with pulmonary function tests. Common side effects include hypersensitivity reactions and dermatologic changes with hyperpigmentation of skin. Occasionalsideeffectsincludenauseaandvomiting(109).

Doxorubicin
Doxorubicinis ananthracycline antitumorantibiotic.It isused for thetreatment ofalarge numberoftumors.ItintercalatesbetweenDNAbasepairs,formsfreeradicals,andinduces topoisomerase II dependent DNA damage. About 70% of the drug is bound to plasma proteinsandmetabolizedbytheliver.Thereleaseratefromtissuebindingsitesisslow.This resultsin relatively prolongedplasma levels. Metabolitesand free drugare excreted inthe bile. Dose-limiting toxicities include myelosuppression and cardiomyopathy with congestiveheartfailure.Thepatient’scardiacejectionfractionshouldbemonitoredduring treatment, particularly when the cumulative dose exceeds 300 mg/m2. Risks and benefits shouldbe consideredat higher cumulativedoses.Commonsideeffectsinclude alopecia, nausea,vomiting,andstomatitis.Doxorubicinisavesicantandextravasationofthedrug resultsinsevereulcerationandnecrosis.Occasionalsideeffectsincludediarrhea(110).
LiposomalDoxorubicin
Liposomal doxorubicin is used for the treatment of ovarian cancer, Kaposi sarcoma, and myeloma.Liposomaldoxorubicinisencapsulatedinlongcirculatingliposomes(microscopic vesiclescomposedofaphospholipidbilayer).Theplasmaclearanceisslowerthanstandard
doxorubicin. Dose-limiting toxicity is myelosuppression. The risk of cardiomyopathy is significantlylowerwhencomparedtostandarddoxorubicin.Occasionalcardiomyopathy has been reported at cumulative doses above 550 mg/m2. Common side effects include palmar–plantar erythrodysesthesia (hand–foot syndrome) with erythema and
desquamationonthehandsandfeetassociatedwithpainandinflammation(111).
Epirubicin
Epirubicinisthe4′-epimerofdoxorubicinandisasemisyntheticderivativeofdaunorubicin. It is used for the treatment of breast and gastric cancers. The toxicity is comparable to doxorubicinbuttheriskofcardiomyopathyissignificantlylower.Theriskmaybeincreased substantiallyafteratotaldoseof900mg/m2(112).
Etoposide
Etoposide is used for the treatment of gestational trophoblastic disease, germ cell tumors, testicularcancer,lymphoma,andovariancancer.ItisavailableasanIVmedicationorasan oraltablet.Itisextractedfromthepodophyllumpeltatumplant.Etoposideisatopoisomerase II inhibitor. It causes G2 cell cycle arrest. It is highly bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin.Decreasedalbuminlevelsresultinpotentiallygreatertoxicity.Fortypercentofthe drug is excreted in the urine. The main dose-limiting toxicity is myelosuppression.
Commonsideeffectsincludenausea,vomiting,malaise,andametallictasteduringthe infusion. Occasional side effects include anemia and thrombocytopenia. Rare side effects
includestomatitisanddiarrhea(113).
