What Types of Neuropathies are Common in Cancer Patients?
The most common type of neuropathy associated with cancer is peripheral neuropathy. This affects the peripheral nerves and is typically characterized by a glove-and-stocking distribution of symptoms. Autonomic neuropathy, impacting involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion, and cranial neuropathy, affecting cranial nerves, may also occur but are less frequent.
