چکیده

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is one of the most common side effects of bortezomib therapy. The majority of bortezomib-related PN is a sensory neuropathy of mild to moderate degree, and is reversible after dose reduction or discontinuation. However, occasionally bortezomib-induced neuropathy can be severe and affects motor and/or autonomic nerves, and may be mediated by immune process. The role of immune modulation therapy in the management of bortezomib-induced PN was not well established. Here, we reported a case of bortezomib-induced severe PN that responded well to plasma exchange and steroid treatment.

Antibody against tumor necrosis factor-α reduces bortezomib-induced allodynia in a rat model.

BACKGROUND Bortezomib is an anti-neoplastic drug acting against multiple myeloma but its use is associated with the onset of painful peripheral neuropathy. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is associated with the development of neuropathic pain; several models have shown that the inactivation of TNFα leads to a reduction in pain stimuli perception. The aim of the present study was to analyze if th...
