Talk Description

While cancer survival rates continue to improve with better diagnosis and treatment, debilitating side effects can occur especially with systemic anticancer drugs. This presentation covers the various anticancer drugs relevant to our patients treated for cancer, and the prominent complications that could arise from these treatments.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the main types of systemic anticancer drugs used in medical oncology settings (chemotherapy, hormonal agents, targeted therapies).
  • Recognise ocular complications arising from treatment with anticancer drugs, and the appropriate management for these side effects.
