Neurological Complications of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy in Cancer Patients

Chirawadee Sathitruangsak, Arunee Dechaphunkul

Abstract

Neurological complications of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are common problems in oncology practice. They can affect the central nervous system and/or the peripheral nervous system. The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of these complications are not fully understood. The consequences of these complications include dose-limiting, permanent discontinuation of treatment, and substantial reduction in patients’ quality of life. Due to effective treatments for therapy-induced neurotoxicity are still limited, early awareness of neurological complications is important to prevent permanent damage
