Condition references

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy

Some chemotherapy can cause peripheral nerve damage, called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Effects may persist after treatment ends. Treatment history and examination findings help the clinician assess the cause and affected functions.

Symptoms after chemotherapy do not prove that treatment caused them. Keep other possible causes and coexisting conditions visible. The cancer itself and peripheral nerve effects are separate documentation questions.
