Typical adverse effects of Chemotherapeutic agents

Vincristine : Neuropathy
Dauno/doxorubicin : Cardiomyopathy
L-asparaginase : Acute Pancreatitis
Cyclophosphamide : Hemorrhagic cystitis
Busulphan : Lung damage
Methotrexate : Mucositis

Each of these side effects is quite typical. One can expect an occasional question in the USMLE but these are not heavily tested.
