[Preventive and therapeutic measures in cytostatic-associated toxicity].
Strategies (both prophylactic and therapeutic) to reduce side effects of chemotherapy are reviewed. In particular, issues concerning proper patient information are discussed which should help to increase patient compliance. Chemotherapy, especially regimens with a curative intent, must normally be administered under the guidance of an oncologist. However, close cooperation with the general practitioner is essential in order to ensure high quality counselling and treatment of the outpatient.
