进行了一项调查，以确定和排名的99名患者接受癌症化疗的副作用。在15种最严重的症状中，非身体副作用占54%，包括想到要来接受治疗，治疗所需的时间和必须打针。主要的身体副作用是呕吐、恶心和脱发。按性别、年龄、婚姻状况和家庭状况以及诊断、治疗和反应划分患者组时，副作用严重程度的等级差异很明显。在决定是否使用癌症化疗时，评估患者对副作用严重程度的感知有助于达到成本效益平衡。
A survey was conducted to identify and rank side-effects perceived by 99 patients receiving cancer chemotherapy. Non-physical side-effects constituted 54% of the 15 most severe symptoms, and included the thought of coming for treatment, the length of time taken by treatment and having to have a needle. Major physical side-effects were vomiting, nausea and hair loss. Differences in ranking of severity of side-effects were evident when patient groups were divided by sex, age, marital status and domestic situation, as well as by diagnosis, treatment and response. Evaluation of patient perception of the severity of side-effects is an aid to striking the cost benefit balance when deciding whether to use cancer chemotherapy.
