Hair loss, GI tract, suppressed bone marrow, liver and kidney damage - ANS Classic side
effects of drugs for cancer therapy
Uses of alkylating agents - ANS Hodgkin's disease, lymphoma, leukemia, ovarian, breast,
testicular cancers, head, neck, lung cancers, neuroblastomas, and brain tumors.
Antimetabolites - ANS Only work effectively in S phase of cell cycle. Substitutes for normal
substrates in DNA.
Methotrexate - ANS Also used for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
Uses of antimetabolites - ANS Breast and colorectal cancers, osteosarcoma, leukemias, Non-
Hodgkin's lymphoma
Mitotic inhibitors - ANS Target microtubules so they cannot separate DNA during replication.
Can cause neuropathy. Vinblastine, vincristine, and paclitaxel.
Steroid hormone agonist - ANS Slows replication

cells. Do not cause hair loss nor simply target quickly replicating cells.
-mab - ANS Monoclonal antibody
Uticaria - ANS Skin rash
Bacteriostatic - ANS Inhibits bacterial growth
