Identification of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Sponsor: University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein
Summary
The main goal of this trial is to identify the optimal cut-off score of a Scoring System to discriminate between moderate to severe chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and no CIPN in breast cancer survivors previously treated with taxane-based chemotherapy and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Symptom-based scoring system
The patients will be asked to complete the self-evaluation of symptoms and signs of neuropathy using a Neuropathy Tracker that questions symptoms quality, severity and distribution and guide the user through a systematic evaluation of pin-prick from a needle and vibration from the mobile on successive levels from the toes to the knee on both legs. Finally, the extension force or both great toes will be self-assessed by the participant. The self-examination is based on the structure of the Utah Early Neuropathy Score.
