Popis: Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common complications of Bortezomib treatment. In this article you can find a brief literature review and single center experience: we estimated the prevalence of neuropathy development and it’s characteristics in a group of 33 patients. Peripheral neuropathy was found in 16 (48.5%) patients. In this group initial manifestations of neurotoxicity (grade I and II) were found in 8 (50%) patients. Advanced neuropathy (grade III and IV) was found in 6 (37.5%) and 2 (12.5%) patients respectively. In the majority of patients neuropathy was reversible if Bortezomibe dose was modified and symptomatic treatment was administered at the proper time.
