Early Neuropathy Related to Oxaliplatin Treatment in Advanced and Recurrent Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Background/Aim: Chemotherapy dose adjustments in colorectal cancer are usually based on body surface area (BSA). The goal of this study was to investigate patients with nutritional disorder who developed early peripheral neuropathy due to inappropriate dose adjustment of oxaliplatin. Patients and Methods: The study subjects were 88 patients with advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer who underwent chemotherapy with oxaliplatin. The psoas muscle area (PMA) was used as a nutritional index. Mild (grades 0-1, MN … Show more

“…Despite the addition of oxaliplatin, in our study, severe toxicity rate was relative low (17%) and in any case equal to or better than previously published studies; both randomized studies, that tested oxaliplatin in the neoadjuvant setting (from 23% up to 40%) (14-17), and in a retrospective elderly series (from 12% up to 35%) (18)(19)(20). Even if oxaliplatin is probably responsible for improving toxicity incidence, it is well-known that oxaliplatin mainly causes neurotoxic adverse events due to cell death in neural ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve root (21). We recorded 21 patients (21%) with peripheral neuropathy and 71% of these patients (n=15) showed complete recovery several months after oxaliplatin infusion.…”

“…These acute symptoms are experienced by most of patients (90%) at some point of time during treatment [18,20,22], being usually reversible within hours or days and typically is triggered or exacerbated by cold [18,21,23,47] (Table 2). Similar to persistent OXAIPN, no factors beyond dose or infusion time seem related with the risk of developing acute OXAIPN [10,21,[23][24][25][26][27][28]. Acute neurotoxicity is a well-established risk factor for developing chronic OXAIPN at the end of chemotherapy.…”

“…10,11 The drug choice was based on the type of primary tumor, the preexistent response to oxaliplatin for digestive cancers, and the presence of neuropathy, as detailed elsewhere. 6,12 The planned regimen included a standard of three procedures, but PIPAC treatment could be continued thereafter. When no clinical improvement was observed or early tumoral progression was identified, treatment was stopped prematurely after one or two ePIPACs.…”
