Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy and health-related quality of life in postoperative breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy: N-SAS BC 02, a randomized clinical trial

Abstract: Patient-reported CIPN was significantly more severe with single-agent adjuvant taxane compared to AC followed by taxane treatment; however, the HRQOL findings support that single-agent taxane treatment is tolerable.

“…In view of the importance of Docetaxel in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies for breast cancer treatment, as well as its ole in the prevention of relapse, Docetaxel-induce peripheral neuropathy lacks further studies to explore appropriate management forms, without causing losses for the treatment but being able to maintain the patients' quality of life. (22,23) The limits of this study were mainly related to the small sample size, as the population is very specific, despite including the entire population of women who complied with the inclusion criteria in the study context, in view of the established data collection period. Thus, new studies are needed with larger samples.…”

“…Taxane is known as one of the standard first-line treatments for metastatic breast cancer; however, patients often suffer adverse events such as hair loss, peripheral nerve disorders, and/or edema; thus, such a reduction in quality of life (QOL) becomes a problem [1][2][3] . Moreover, all patients need to be treated in a healthcare facility because taxane is given as an injection.…”

“…through the CYP2C8 enzyme system suggest that variations in the CYP2C8 genotype may increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy via the attenuation of paclitaxel metabolism [11,12]. With a greater exposure to paclitaxel, severe forms of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy may be induced due to axon degeneration and lead to the persistence of the neurotoxicity [13][14][15][16]. A genome-wide association study provided evidence suggesting that genetic variations in the ephrin type A receptor (EPHA) genes are strongly associated with paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy [17].…”
