Abstract / Description of output

There is speculation that peripheral neuropathy (PN) with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CapOx; 130 mg/m(2), day 1, every 21 days) may be more common than with FOLFOX4 (5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m(2), day 1, every 14 days). We aimed to determine PN incidence and associations during CapOx, and 6 and 12 months after CapOx.
