The Influence of Chemotherapy-Induced Neurotoxicity on Psychological Distress and Sleep Sisturbance in Cancer Patients

Abstract

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity negatively affects psychological distress and sleep quality in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy. High pnq grades were significantly associated with poor psychological status and sleep quality. Our results emphasize the importance of assessing peripheral neuropathies during chemotherapy and of adjusting treatment plans based on assessment results.
