Abstract
The timely selection of appropriate supportive therapy for patients with malignancies is one of the priority tasks of the modern health care system due to the persistent high prevalence, the rapid expansion of antitumor drug therapies, and the increase in the life expectancy of patients. In addition to serious, potentially life-threatening complications, less severe adverse reactions (ADRs) often occur in patients during anticancer therapy, significantly reducing their quality of life. Optimal treatment outcomes, reducing the incidence of complications, and increasing treatment adherence can be achieved by integrating individualized supportive care regimens into a comprehensive management plan for patients with cancer. In real-world practice, oncologists often refer patients with complications to specialized professionals, even in cases where the ADRs do not require third-party consultation, which leads to unreasonable delays in the necessary therapy. To enhance the effectiveness of supportive therapy, it is essential to develop and implement precise clinical algorithms that govern the management of various complications. Our review presents a scheme for the routing of patients with cancer, illustrated by the management of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary ADRs.
