Observational analysis shows correlation of nutritional parameters with neuropathy in ovarian cancer patients, indicating the role of early detection tools.
The relationship between nutritional parameters (L3 SMI and albumin) and the incidence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in ovarian cancer patients treated with paclitaxel and carboplatin. The study included 53 patients and logistic regression identified age, height, TSH and hemoglobin levels as independent predictors of neuropathy. NCV detected subclinical neuropathy in patients without overt symptoms. We show that NCV is a valuable tool for early detection of CIPN, especially in high-risk patients and highlights the need for larger studies to explore the role of inflammatory markers in this context.
