Breakthrough in Chemotherapy-Induced Nerve Pain

Scientists just cracked the code on why chemo causes unbearable nerve pain that can last

years after treatment. Turns out chemotherapy drugs don't just attack cancer cells. They trigger a specific

inflammatory response in your nervous system that damages nerve fibers permanently. This neuropathic

pain affects up to seventy percent of cancer patients and many suffer long after beating

cancer. The breakthrough reveals exact molecular pathways causing this damage.

Researchers found that blocking certain immune signals can prevent the pain without reducing

chemo effectiveness. This could mean future cancer patients won't have to choose between beating

cancer and living with chronic debilitating pain afterward. “if you found this interesting,
