Abstract
To review the neurologic complications of systemic anti-cancer therapies and radiation therapy. Although many of the newer systemic therapies have more favorable side effect profiles than traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy, neurotoxicity has been seen with some of newer targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and T cell engaging therapies, including CAR-T therapy. The most recent advances in radiation-induced neurotoxicity have focused on the prevention and the management of cognitive dysfunction, a known long-term complication of brain irradiation. Cancer therapies can damage both the central and the peripheral nervous systems, and the damage may not always be reversible. Neurologists and oncologists must be aware of the neurotoxicities associated with newer treatments, particularly CAR-T therapy and immunotherapy. Early recognition and appropriate management can help minimize neurologic injury.
