What this trial is about
Due to well-proven survival benefit, paclitaxel and other taxane-based chemotherapies are first-line agents for both the adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and disabling side effect of taxane anticancer agents. No established strategy exists for CIPN prevention. This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy for the prevention of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with breast cancer in a prospective randomized controlled trial.
