Purpose of review: New anticancer drugs often are associated with improved results, such as objective response and disease-free survival. But with these new drugs, patients, caregivers and medical oncologist have to face new toxicities, quite different from the side effects of conventional chemotherapy. The aim of this review is to share the actual knowledge about these new toxicities.
Recent findings: We review here some of these new toxicities, as ocular, cardio, lung and mucocutaneous toxicities, as well as specific side effects of CAR-T cells. We also discuss a specific problem, which is financial toxicity.
Summary: With this review, caregivers and medical oncologists will be aware of these new toxicities and able to develop their own network of specialized practitioners to provide the best possible supportive care.
