Falls and disability among female cancer survivors

Key Points

• Approximately one-half of women have symptoms of CIPN 6 years after treatment.
• Women with persistent CIPN symptoms were found to have poorer physical functioning, more disability, and nearly twice the rate of falls as asymptomatic women.
• Women with neuropathy, pain, and weakness frequently lose their ability to perform even basic exercises correctly.
