Chemotherapy-induced peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is a complex condition that affects the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, causing a range of symptoms and challenges. It is specifically categorized as a type of peripheral neuropathy that develops as a consequence of chemotherapy treatment for various types of cancer. The potent drugs used in chemotherapy can inadvertently damage the peripheral nerves, leading to disruptions in sensation, coordination, and mobility. Understanding the impact of chemotherapy peripheral neuropathy is crucial in developing effective strategies to mitigate its effects and improve the overall well-being of individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
The cause of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is not exactly known or understood. We do know that certain chemotherapy drugs can cause damage to the nerves that control sensation and movement in the body. The damage can occur as a result of the drug directly being toxic to the nerve or indirectly toxic due to the immune system's reaction to the cancer cells and the drug. The extent of nerve damage can depend on several factors including the type of chemotherapy drugs, the dose, the duration of treatment, and the individual susceptibility to the drug.
