Oxaliplatin-Associated Neuropathy: A Review

Abstract: Peripheral neuropathy is seen in the majority of patients who receive oxaliplatin. The acute form is usually transient and self-limited; however, the chronic form can be dose-limiting. Calcium and magnesium solutions are an effective and convenient means of treating and reducing the severity of neuropathic symptoms. Additional studies, including controlled trials, are needed to determine the best way to prevent and treat this complication.

“…This form of neuropathy is acute and self-limited. Individuals receiving cumulative dosages of 540 mg/m 2 or more may begin to experience chronic symptoms [17]. Another study showed clinical deterioration in 31% of patients with aggravation of peripheral neuropathy peaking between 2.5 and 5.5 months following discontinuation of cisplatin [18].…”

“…These data are broadly similar to those reported in reviews of oxaliplatin-related adverse effects. [99][100][101] Cassidy and Misset 100 state that oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity consists of a rapid-onset acute sensory neuropathy and late-onset cumulative sensory neuropathy that occurs after several cycles of therapy. The condition is reported to be reversible in about 75% of patients, with a median time to recovery of 13 weeks after treatment discontinuation.…”

“…The use of the antineoplastic drug oxaliplatin for the treatment of a variety of cancers is significantly limited by the development of a painful peripheral neuropathy characterized by both an acute sensitivity to cold and lack of sensation in the hands and feet and a chronic foot/leg, hand/arm numbness [3]. It has previously been reported that oxaliplatin produces a peripheral neuropathy in rats in several well-characterized animal models with features observed in humans [5].…”
