“I’m an oncologist and a musician and can’t say I had ever heard of acute musical toxicity from cancer treatment being formally described and studied before. But of course hardly surprising that it exists (neuropathy, fatigue, cognitive impacts, etc.). Bravo to the Mayo Clinic authors for doing this patient-centric study and the musical patients who participated. Table 2 (JCO Oncology Practice article is open access so no paywall) showing incidence of toxicities is illuminating.”
