- In the most common form of chronic polyneuropathy, only sensation is affected. Usually, the feet are affected first, but sometimes the hands are. A pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, burning pain, and loss of vibration sense and position sense (knowing where the arms and legs are) are prominent symptoms. Because position sense is lost, walking and even standing become unsteady.

Neuropathy For people with breast cancer, the most common cause of uncomfortable or even painful neuropathy that limits activity is chemotherapy — often referred to as chemotherapy-associated peripheral neuropathy. Chemotherapy medications travel throughout the body, where they can cause damage to the nerves. Chemotherapy medications that can cause neuropathy include: 1  Abraxane (chemical name: albumin-bound or nab-paclitaxel). 2  carboplatin (brand name: Paraplatin). 3  Halaven (chemical name: eribulin). 4  Navelbine (chemical name: vinorelbine). 5  Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel). 6  Taxotere (chemical name: docetaxel).

What is Peripheral Neuropathy They are found throughout your body and help you feel things. They also control the function of your organs. The damage is usually to nerves in the hands, feet, arms, and legs. Cancer treatments are meant to kill cancer cells. A side-effect is that normal cells can also be damaged or killed. When chemotherapy damages peripheral nerves, it is called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, or CIPN. Other types of cancer treatments can also cause peripheral neuropathy.

But peripheral neuropathy can be also caused by surgery, radiation, the tumor pressing directly on nerves, chemicals released by tumors, and infections. Peripheral neuropathy can be a side effect of these drugs: 1  Platinum drugs, such as cisplatin (Platinol), oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), carboplatin (Paraplatin) 2  Taxanes, such as paclitaxel (Taxol, Abraxane), docetaxel (Taxotere) 3  Vinca alkaloids, such as vincristine (Oncovin, Vincasar), vinorelbine (Navelbine), and vinblastine (Velban)

Neuropathy secondary to drugs Neuropathy secondary to drugs. Neuropathy secondary to drugs is a loss of sensation or movement in a part of the body due to nerve damage from a certain medicine. The damage is caused by the toxic effects of certain medicines on the peripheral nerves (nerves that are not in the brain or spinal cord). There may be damage to the axon part of the nerve cell, which interferes with nerve signals. Most commonly, many nerves are involved (polyneuropathy).
