ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to provide insights into persistent taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN). The primary objective is to describe the incidence, predictors, and consequences of TIPN lasting at least 1 year after the end of taxane treatment. RECENT FINDINGS:
Studies show varying rates of TIPN persistence, with an estimated 30-40% and 40-60% resolving by 1- and 3-year post-treatment. TIPN in the feet and motor symptoms show less resolution post-treatment. Patients who are older or have higher body weight may experience less TIPN resolution, but results may be confounded by TIPN development during treatment. Persistent TIPN negatively impacts long-term functional ability, including gait, balance, and the ability to work. It also reduces overall quality of life (QOL), particularly affecting physical and social aspects.SUMMARY:
Clinicians should be aware of the potential for persistent TIPN and its impact on patients' function and QOL. Future research should focus on large prospective studies with systematic TIPN assessments during and after treatment to better understand which symptoms and patient characteristics predict resolution. This information can guide treatment decisions, balancing the need for effective chemotherapy with minimizing long-term impairments in function and QOL.
