Abstract:
Because available therapy cannot always distinguish between malignant and nonmalignant cells, the toxicity ofchemotherapeutic agents to normal tissue remains a troublesome issue. Various chemotherapeutic agents such asbleomycin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and L-asparaginase, which cause pulmonary fibrosis, cardiomyopathy,pancreatitis, and hemorrhagic cystitis, respectively, are familiar to radiologists. The purpose of this report isto describe the radiologic findings of various organ abnormalities related to chemotherapy.
