Long-term neuropathy and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients treated with oxaliplatin containing adjuvant chemotherapy

Abstract

Neuropathy following oxaliplatin containing adjuvant chemotherapy is present in two-thirds, years after cessation, and impairs some QOL scales. There is no difference in severity of acute or long-term neuropathy between CAPOX and FOLFOX treated and QOL is similar. No seasonal variation in neuropathy was noted.
