Abstract

Urologic tumors are frequently treated by multimodal therapeutic strategies with the consequence of an increasing number of adverse events. The most common chemotherapy-induced side effects are neutropenia, stomatitis, mucositis, diarrhea, and emesis. The efficacy of tumor therapy can be improved by good prophylaxis and standardized management of side effects.

Keywords: Diarrhea; Emesis; Mucositis; Neutropenia; Stomatitis.
