Title: Multisystem toxicity in cancer: Lessons from NASA's countermeasures program
Abstract: Astronauts and cancer patients are subject to similar multisystem physiological toxicities. Over the past sixty years, NASA developed a state-of-the-art countermeasures program (CMP) to characterize and mitigate the physiological consequences of spaceflight. Here, we propose a NASA-modeled CMP to elucidate and abrogate physiological toxicities in patients with cancer. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
