Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common dose-limiting side effect experienced by patients receiving treatment for cancer. CIPN is a common clinical problem; approximately 30-40% of patients receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy will suffer from this condition and. unfortunately. there is no preventive treatment for CIPN. Our recent study on neurodegeneration suggests that cell cycle re-entry in peripheral neurons play a critical role in the development of CIPN and targeting neuronal cell cycle machinery may be a highly effective therapy for CIPN. To test this idea.
