The presence of oxaliplatin-associated neurotoxicity and its distribution based on its severity was similar to rates published in the literature. The number of patients requiring a change in the oxaliplatin prescription could justify the need for studies that assess the clinical consequences of these modifications. We believe that effective strategies for neurological protection need to be developed in order to guarantee the safety and quality of life in these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
