Core Tip

Core Tip: The incidence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is approximately 47% after 6 years of treatment, which severely affects the level of patient adaptation. Most studies have focused on interventions to alleviate the symptoms of neurotoxicity in patients, but there has been less focus on psychosocial adaptation. In this study, we investigated the psychosocial adaptation of 233 patients with CIPN to analyze the factors influencing their psychosocial adaptation.
