Diagnosis, Management and Emerging Strategies for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy

This book comprehensively examines chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a common dose-limiting condition that negatively affects both the quality of life of cancer patients and disease outcomes.

CIPN remains a challenging area for both clinical care and research, as there are multiple unresolved issues. Written by leading international experts, the book discusses the natural history of CIPN, the latest predictors of toxicity, instruments for evaluating symptoms, and prevention/therapeutic strategies, as well as patients’ experiences of this common clinical syndrome. Lastly it highlights avenues for future research to enhance our understanding of CIPN.

Providing essential information on the management of CIPN and the latest research in the field, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and healthcare providers working with patients with various malignant diseases.
