Webinar: Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: Quality of Life & Treatment Planning for Breast Cancer & Other Cancer Patients
CIPN can be an unexpected side-effect of certain breast and other cancer treatments. While the treatments save lives, the resulting CIPN can be life-changing and devastating. Our three panelists: Dr. Tom Smith (oncologist), Dr. Stefanie Geisler (neurologist), and Krista Nelson (social worker), present the latest information about the causes and treatments of CIPN, offer insight into the patient-doctor relationship, and explore the emotional challenges and medical options in coping with CIPN. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session.
This webinar was generously sponsored by Athenex Oncology and held live on Tuesday, November 10, 2020. You can find more information about CIPN from Athenex here.
