These short term and long term hazards of chemotherapy or radiotherapy are called as acute or chronic toxicity, respectively. 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.
