Although cyclophosphamide is used to treat cancer, in some patients it may increase the risk of developing another form of cancer, sometimes months to years after treatment. Consult your doctor for more details. It is important to be closely monitored by your doctor during treatment. You should also see your doctor regularly after treatment is finished. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop:
- unusual growths or lumps
- swollen glands
- unexplained or sudden weight loss
- night sweats
- pain in the pelvis
- painful or frequent urination
