Abstract

Chemotherapy is a common treatment for cancer patients, but it often comes with a range of debilitating side effects that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. Pharmacists play a crucial role in managing these side effects and improving patient outcomes. This review article aims to explore the various nursing strategies employed in the management of chemotherapy side effects in cancer patients. The review will examine the latest evidence-based practices and interventions used by pharmacists to alleviate common side effects such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and neuropathy. Additionally, the role of pharmacists in providing emotional support, education, and symptom management will be discussed. The review will also highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing the complex needs of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
