Abstract

This article presents modern ideas about the problem of damage to the nervous system in patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Breast cancer is the most common cancer of women worldwide. To date, chemotherapy is increasingly used in treatment regimens. However, many chemotherapeutic drugs are potentially neurotoxic, which increases the risks of acute and delayed side effects, including damage to both the central and peripheral nervous systems in the form of cognitive impairment and post-chemotherapeutic polyneuropathy, which significantly worsen the quality of life of patients. Due to the increased survival rate of patients, knowledge of the potential neurotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs and timely diagnosis of damage to the nervous system is of particular relevance.
