myelosuppression, stomatitis, and oral and gastrointestinal ulcerations: Not sure about this...I know Doxorubicin causes doxorubicin but don't know about the other symptoms.

hey mash,

many anticancer drugs have same side effects but point is which of the drugs has something it's known for.
Tacrolimus, Vincristine etc also can have peripheral neuritis. I'm sure many more but main point is to know the main SE. wink
