Using strong chemical drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells can also affect healthy cells and cause problems for the patient. Some side effects are short-lived and others may have long-term effects. The side effects of chemotherapy can be different for each person and it depends on the type of cancer, its location, drugs and their dosage, and the general health status of the patient. Methods: In total, ۳۵ articles with a time limit of the last ۵ years were obtained by deleting ۹ articles whose full text Not available; finally, ۲۶ articles were included in the study.
