There have been tremendous recent advances in the
pharmacotherapy, dose regimens, and combinations used to treat
cancer and for the treatment or prevention of the spread of
disease. As a direct result of these advances, there are an
increasing number of cancer survivors, although research dealing
with chemotherapy-induced pain is still in its early years.
Written for pain management specialists, oncologists,
pharmacologists, students, and primary care practitioners,
Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain provides insight into the
important area of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. It reviews
the basic and clinical research into the normal physiology of pain
transmission pathways, neuropathic pain pathology, the
chemotherapeutic drug mechanisms of action and adverse effects,
chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and drug discovery efforts for
treatment.
The contributors comprise an impressive list of clinical and
basic science experts in the fields of pain mechanisms and pain
management. Included are clinical directors of pain clinics and
clinical research facilities, directors of large academic pain
research laboratories, analgesic drug developers, and presidents of
the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP),
Association of Chronic Pain Patients (ACPP), and the British Pain
Society (BPS). Through them, the book provides the reader with an
exceptional opportunity to acquire a fundamental understanding of
the basic concepts related to this topic.
