Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the short-term trajectory of peripheral neuropathy in patients receiving triweekly albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) chemotherapy. 235 patients were recruited from March to August 2024, of whom 65.1% developed neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy was assessed at baseline (the first day of chemotherapy) and on days 3, 7, 14, and 21. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify two distinct trajectories of neuropathy: a rise-then-decline group and a gradual-increase group. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that patients with an increased cumulative dose (per 200 mg increment: odds ratio [OR] = 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-1.78), anemia (OR = 2.68; 95% CI: 1.30-5.52), and age < 60 years (OR = 2.17; 95% CI: 1.03-4.60) were more likely to belong to the rise-then-decline trajectory group. Clinicians should closely monitor symptom severity between 7 and 14 days post-chemotherapy. In older patients, combining patient-reported outcomes with clinical functional assessments may help detect subtle sensory neuropathic changes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemotherapy is an international multidisciplinary journal committed to the rapid publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy.
The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
· Precision medicine in infectious disease therapy and in cancer therapy;
· Pharmacoeconomics of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies and the implications to patients, health services, and the pharmaceutical industry.
