Burotto, Mauricio; Fojo, Antonio Tito
- Abstract
The authors discuss the study conducted by Campone et al. on acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The variation between the toxicity scoring of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) is mentioned. The observation among patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and ovarian cancer is tackled.
