Abstract

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating side effect of cancer treatment that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. This study investigated the effects of targeting metabolic pathways on bortezomib-induced neuropathic pain and tumor growth using a Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) mouse model, while exploring potential sex differences.
