Re: Palbociclib extends progression-free survival in advanced breast cancer patients
 
I read some info on Palbociclib (Ibrance) and condensded the common side effects with a "nonsense word."

Fanthappal-epi-UTI

Fatigue, anemia, neutropenia, throbocytopenia (Fanth)

appetite decrease, alopecia (usually not severe) = appal

epistaxis (nosebleed) and Upper respiratory infections =Epi-UTI

Perhaps this might be useful
