NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES NOW SPECIFIC ON THE DIAGNOSIS OF CHEMOTHERAPY INDUCED PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

It is a well known fact that both chemotherapy and radiation for cancer patients causes peripheral neuropathy. However, a new study shows that recording from the dorsal sural nerve (DSN) may be a good method for early detection of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OXAPN), a drug used widely in cancer treatment. The...
