Immune modulation therapy in the management of bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy
نویسندگان
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.

Bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN) often is difficult to manage or reverse once it occurs. Treatment usually involves dose-reduction, interruption, or cessation of therapy, as no other interventions have been proven effective. Oncology nurses must be vigilant and recognize BIPN early to prevent patients from experiencing symptoms and complications that may interfere with their qual...

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...
