“Efficacy of Hand Cooling and Compression in Preventing Taxane-Induced Neuropathy.
Both hand cooling and compression are effective in preventing sensory CIPN during taxane-based chemotherapy.”
Abi Siva, Associate Professor and Director of Medical Oncology at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, shared this post on X, adding:
“Another study supporting the use of cryotherapy or compression to reduce taxane-induced neuropathy in breast cancer! Many of us already use these strategies with good success, but it’s great to see trial evidence. Looking forward to the SWOG trial, which will evaluate this in a larger population.”
