Today's YouTube video (see link below) is a very useful podcast discussion of neuropathy as a result of cancer treatment and chemotherapy. After diabetes, cancer treatment is one of the main causes of neuropathy and as more and more cancer cases are successfully treated with chemotherapy, more and more patients are faced with neuropathic symptoms as an unexpected side effect. An interesting discussion, well worth a listen.

Download from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/n... During cancer treatment, adverse nerve and muscular side effects are common. Unfortunately, there is no treatment that will prevent these conditions, but there are therapies to help relieve these side effects. Ivo Tremont, M.D., and Karin Woodman, M.D., both assistant professors in Neuro-Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, discuss some of the common neurologic and muscular disorders that patients may experience during cancer treatment, and what can be done to help.
