SIDE EFFECTS

The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

• Secondary Malignancy and Leukemia.
• Veno-occlusive Disease.
• Extravasation.
• Myelosuppression.
• Immunizations.
• Severe Mucocutaneous Reactions.
• Renal Toxicity.
• Hepatotoxicity.
• Potentiation of Radiation Toxicity and Radiation Recall.

Common adverse reactions: infection, alopecia, rash, dysphagia, fatigue, fever, nausea, vomiting, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, mucositis, and hepatotoxicity.

The following adverse reactions have been identified in clinical studies or postmarketing reports. Because some of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
