Symptoms: Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Abstract: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a problematic, treatment-induced toxicity that has the potential to impact quality of life and limit the doses of curative intent therapy. This therapy-induced side effect is one of the most troublesome in oncology clinical practices, considering the morbidity, the frequency, and the potential irreversibility of this problem. Patients with breast cancer are particularly impacted by this side effect as multiple agents commonly used for this disease can cause … Show more

“…The occurrence of CIPN can limit the chemotherapeutic dosage, delay additional treatment cycles, and even lead to early termination of treatment [30; 34]. Moreover, CIPN frequently persists or even worsens after completion of chemotherapy [43], thereby greatly reducing quality of life for cancer survivors. Despite the high prevalence and severity of CIPN, currently there are no effective FDA-approved drugs to prevent or reverse CIPN.…”

“…The predictive strategies have predominantly focused on the search for hereditary biomarkers that could identify patients at increased risk of toxicity through candidate gene or genome-wide association studies (5,11,12). However, the findings from these studies done to date have identified nonoverlapping single or pathway biomarker associations that preclude immediate clinical implementation.…”

“…Clinical trials with taxanes have shown grade 2 to 4 neuropathy rates ranging from 15% to 23%, as graded by the Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events system, with higher rates related to the specific drug, dose, schedule, and therapy duration. [1][2][3] Patients with grade 2 neuropathy have interference with function (eg, difficulty buttoning a shirt), those with grade 3 have interference with activities of daily living (eg, brushing teeth), and those with grade 4 have permanent and disabling symptoms.…”
