Описание: How Does Neurotoxicity Cause Peripheral Neuropathy In Cancer Patients? Have you ever wondered how certain cancer treatments can affect your nervous system? In this informative video, we'll explain how neurotoxicity can lead to peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients. We'll start by describing what peripheral neuropathy is and how it impacts sensation and daily life. We'll discuss the types of chemotherapy drugs that are most commonly associated with nerve damage, including how they target both cancer cells and healthy nerves. You'll learn about the symptoms to watch for, such as numbness, tingling, and burning sensations, which often begin in the fingers and toes. The video will also cover how nerve damage occurs at a cellular level, particularly focusing on the role of mitochondria—the energy producers within nerve cells—and how their impairment contributes to ongoing nerve issues even after treatment ends. Additionally, we'll highlight the vital role nurses play in monitoring, managing, and educating patients about nerve-related side effects. You'll discover strategies used to help patients cope with symptoms and how healthcare providers work to adjust treatments to minimize nerve damage. Understanding how neurotoxicity impacts peripheral nerves is essential for improving patient care and quality of life during and after cancer therapy. Join us for this essential overview and learn how healthcare professionals support patients through these challenges.
