Sometimes the treatment overwhelms the patient’s immune response or organs.

Or, it can be longer term… one patient (a colleague) had been treated for breast cancer 3 times. The treatments, doctors believe, *caused* a secondary blood cancer, which killed her from lack of oxygen (too many blood cells killed).
