Background
No more known I'm afraid as there was no abstract
Bleomycin is a medication used to treat cancer. This includes Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer among others. Typically used with other cancer medications, it can be given intravenously, by injection into a muscle or under the skin.
Common side effects include fever, weight loss, vomiting, and rash. A severe type of anaphylaxis may occur.
