Study finds novel pathway for understanding why debilitating conditions happen for cancer patients

Severe and persistent disability often undermines the life-saving benefits of cancer treatment. Pain and fatigue - together with sensory, motor, and cognitive disorders - are chief among the constellation of side effects that occur with the platinum-based agents used widely in chemotherapy treatments worldwide.
