Abstract

Cancer stands as one of the major threats to human life. Ensuring the safety of drugs is paramount, and the impact of adverse reactions on patients’ quality of life and prognosis should not be underestimated. Diarrhea is a common clinical adverse event, and despite the absence of specific anti-diarrhea drugs, there is a pressing need for improvement. This article aims to provide a valuable reference for researchers in clinical drug use and scientific tumor treatment. It summarizes recent advancements in drug mechanisms and adverse reactions, whether in preclinical research or clinical diagnosis and therapy.
