Bleomycin-induced pulmonary toxicity can have a significant impact on patient outcomes. However, no guidelines for ideal screening and monitoring are available. This paper reviews the literature to identify the best way to monitor and reduce patient risk for bleomycin pulmonary toxicity. We have created evidence-based guidelines to help healthcare professionals identify patient risk factors and provide appropriate assessment and monitoring for patients receiving bleomycin therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
