Addressing Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy with Cryocompression: Protecting Function and Quality of Life for patients

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a significant unmet need in cancer care, often permanently affecting patients long after treatment and impacting both quality of life and daily functioning.

This 45-minute symposium will showcase the latest developments in the prevention and management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), bringing together leading experts to discuss unmet patient needs, current clinical practice, and the future of side effect management in patient-centred cancer care.

Attendees will gain early access to the latest Phase 2 clinical data investigating cryocompression for CIPN prevention, highlighting the potential of this innovative approach to tackling one of the most challenging side effects of cancer treatment. The session will also introduce the groundbreaking Paxman Neuropathy device, a major innovation set to redefine side effect management in cancer care.
