About this PQI
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a serious side effect that can occur with chemotherapeutics, including certain oral chemotherapy agents. Appropriate patient education and monitoring may assist with identifying early signs of peripheral neuropathy, but no agents have demonstrated efficacy in preventing CIPN. When patients experience chronic peripheral neuropathy not relieved by dose reductions or interruptions, further treatment may be warranted. Currently, the strongest evidence supports the use of duloxetine as treatment for CIPN. Other agents have demonstrated mixed results but may be useful for individual patients.

How to Use a Positive Quality Intervention (PQI)
Essentially, it’s a tool to improve patient care by sharing best practices in oncology care. Consider this standardized, peer-review clinical guidance to oncology healthcare teams, enabling you and your team to consistently deliver high-quality care to your patients.
