The course of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in hematological patients treated with vincristine, bortezomib, or lenalidomide: the NOVIT study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess and describe chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a well-known complication to cancer treatment, using different methodologies in hematological patients.

Methods

Patients scheduled for treatment with vincristine, bortezomib, or lenalidomide were included in this longitudinal observational study. The patients were examined for CIPN before treatment (baseline), before each chemotherapy cycle, one month after end of treatment, and one year after baseline using patient-reported outcomes (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Ntx-13 (FACT/GOG-Ntx-13)) and clinician-assessed outcomes (the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and the Total Neuropathy Score-clinical version (TNSc©)).
