Slide42Audience Response System Question
Which statement regarding use of MABs in the treatment of cancer does the nurse identify as being true? MABs are not as effective as other chemotherapy drugs.
MABs have few adverse effects.
MABs may cause flulike effects but do not cause the typical adverse effects associated with chemotherapy.
MABs are only used in cases of last resort when other chemotherapy drugs have failed.
