OncoSnacks Ep 8: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is a common adverse reaction of multiple agents used to treat and cure cancer, including the platinum, taxanes and vinca alkaloids classes. It doesn't matter which way you turn in medical oncology; these chemotherapy classes are as ubiquitous for cancer treatment as the sun is to plant photosynthesis. This week on OncoSnacks, Michael and Josh investigate what to do when a patient has peripheral neuropathy and examine existing evidence for prevention, treatment and duration of this sequelae.
