About

Background:

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is often painful, and is caused by neurotoxic chemotherapy including vincristine. It is a cause of significant impairment in quality of life in patients surviving to a solid cancer or malignant lymphoma. The only recognized prevention is based on pre-existing neuropathy and early detection of neuropathic signs and symptoms in individuals subjected to neurotoxic chemotherapy, justifying sometimes a change in the therapeutic strategy when other molecules are available. It seems obvious that to identify early markers of CIPN and to develop preventive therapeutic strategies, are priorities for improving patients' quality of life and enable them to follow optimal treatment.

Purpose:

To describe in patients treated for non-Hodgkin's type B malignant lymphoma with multidrug therapy containing vincristine, the impact of candesartan on the occurrence of neuropathy measured by the variation of TNSc (Total Neuropathy Score clinical version, evaluating clinical signs of neuropathy)
