Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most frequent neurologic complications experienced by patients receiving antineoplastic drugs. Involvement of the peripheral nerves may have an important impact on daily activities and lead to severe impairment of the patient's quality of life (QoL). It seems to be of crucial importance to make a correct and early diagnosis of polyneuropathy and, if possible, spare the patient unnecessary suffering or loss of function. In the preceding article we have presented epidemiology, grading and pathogenesis of the toxic CIPN. The purpose of this article is to review current knowledge of diagnostic techniques, prevention and management strategies in the context of CIPN.
