Acute reactions to chemotherapy agents

Mário L de Lemos, MSc (Clin Pharm), PharmD

Provincial Systemic Therapy Program, British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

Acute reactions occur infrequently with chemotherapy agents. However, selected drugs have been known to be associated with severe hyper-sensitivity reactions, infusion reactions and other acute adverse events. The British Columbia Cancer Agency recently updated the list of selected drugs associated with hypersensitivity reactions and the minimum time that immediate physician coverage is needed.

Key Words: antineoplastic agents • drug hypersensitivity • immediate hypersensitivity
