Long-Term Effects of Chemotherapy in Children With Cancer

This study assessed the impacts of chemotherapy on children at the "Estella" Children's Cancer Center, involving 41 respondents. Results showed that 80.5% of children experienced alopecia (hair loss), and 80% reported nausea and vomiting as the most disruptive physical effects, with mood swings being the most disruptive psychological effect. The study emphasizes the importance of parental attention to these effects to improve the quality of life for children undergoing chemotherapy.
