This article discusses chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPNP) and its associated neuropathic pain syndrome that occurs in patients with malignant neoplasms (MN) during cytostatic therapy. The overall prevalence of CIPNP in patients with malignant neoplasms associated with chemotherapy with neurotoxic drugs is estimated, according to various sources, to be about 70%. The pathophysiological mechanisms of CIPNP have not been fully studied, but it is known that they are based on: impaired axonal transport, oxidative stress, induction of apoptosis, DNA damage, dysfunction of voltage-gated ion channels, and central mechanisms. It is important to recognize CIPNP in the clinical symptoms of patients with cancer treated with cytostatics, since these disorders can lead to serious restrictions in the motor, sensory and autonomic functions of the upper and lower extremities, as well as reduce the quality of life and daily functioning of such patients, forcing them to adjust the dose of chemotherapy drugs, transfer the next cycles and even interrupt the treatment of cancer carried out according to vital needs. In addition to the clinical examination, scales and questionnaires have been developed to identify symptoms of CIPNP, but it is most important for neurological and oncological specialists to know and be able to recognize such symptoms in patients. The mandatory research methods for identifying the symptoms of polyneuropathy include electroneuromyography (ENMG), which allows you to assess muscle activity, functional characteristics and the state of the function of peripheral nerves. The methods used to reduce symptoms are screening patients for the development of CIPNP and identifying patients at high risk of CIPNP and, if necessary, reducing the dose or changing cytostatics. Methods for correcting this disorder using different classes of drugs require more detailed study and further research.
