Objective: Both chemotherapy and radiotherapy have demonstrated high effectiveness as the best mechanisms in the fight against cancer; however, various studies seem to confirm that they could also favor the development of other unwanted effects of great importance for the patient. The main objective of this study is to find out the possible existence of this type of links. Method: This is a systematic literature review that seeks to find out which and how long cases of late interactions related to chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments have been known. The bibliographic review was carried out based on references published in the last five years. Results: Various studies confirm the possible relationship between chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments with the development of new undesirable side effects, especially as a consequence of the hepatotoxicity generated in the case of chemotherapy and radiation in radiotherapy. However, in this last type of treatment, the problems raised are really few. Conclusions: The existence of a risk of suffering new unwanted side effects after different types of treatment seems to have been demonstrated, especially in the case of chemotherapy. In the case of radiotherapy, adverse effects are practically non-existent, although they are no less important. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
