Chemotherapy

[Guest]

Does chemotherapy affect the function of the liver? My mother in law started chemo two weeks ago for esophageal cancer and now her liver is not functioning properly. It was normal before the treatments started. She is also taking radiation.
Thank you.

There are certain chemotherapy agents which can have an effect on the liver by causing inflammation. Thank you for using oncologychannel and good luck.
