Breast Cancer Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy Aging |
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is common and provokes pain, poor QoL, and loss of independence, as well as increases the risk of falls and opioid addiction. Beyond the inciting agents, risk factors for CIPN are not understood or systematically evaluated in clinical practice, precluding prevention. Therefore, a clinical decision tool to predict an individual patient's risk of neuropathy remains a critical unmet need. A diagnostic test that predicts CIPN risk in this clinical context would provide an essential clinical-decision tool to guide treatment and post-treatment care in breast cancer, prevent CIPN occurrence, and improve patient outcomes.
Investigators' pilot data uncovered a strong association between cellular senescence and CIPN. In this prospective, observational study of participants with early-stage breast cancer, the investigators will assess the contribution of senescence and clinical variables. The investigators will determine the ability of these factors to identify patients at risk for CIPN during chemotherapy and up to one year after the last dose of taxane-based chemotherapy. This study will employ both patient- and clinician reported CIPN scoring systems.
