Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of many anticancer drugs such as platinum compounds, antitubulins (taxanes and vinca alkaloids), bortezomib and thalidomide [1]. CIPN may manifest as sensory symptoms in hands and feet, typically in a “glove and stocking” pattern; pain, numbness, tingling etc; or motor symptoms such as weakness, deficits in the cranial nerve or autonomic neuropathy [2]. Various pharmacological agents have been evaluated for management of CIPN and have been reported to have variable effects.
