The goal of this study was to investigate patients with nutritional disorder who developed early peripheral neuropathy due to inappropriate dose adjustment of oxaliplatin. Patients and Methods: The study subjects were 88 patients with advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer who underwent chemotherapy with oxaliplatin. The psoas muscle area (PMA) was used as a nutritional index. Mild (grades 0-1, MN group) and severe (grades 2-3, SN group) peripheral neuropathy was defined using neurotoxicity criteria of Debiopharm. Results: Severe peripheral neuropathy developed in 29 patients (33.0%). The total oxaliplatin dose/PMA was significantly higher for the SN group (107.6±8.5 mg/cm2) and compared with the MN group (53.8±6.0 mg/cm2) in univariate (p<0.0001) and multivariate (p=0.012) analyses. Conclusion: In order to prevent peripheral neuropathy from chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, dose adjustment of oxaliplatin should be based on PMA, in addition to BSA. ER -
