Abstract

Neurologic complications of cancer-directed therapy are common and require early identification for optimal management. Specific chemotherapies and radiation techniques have well-known neurotoxicity profiles; however, with the advent of targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the spectrum of possible neurologic complications has broadened. The evaluation, grading, and management of the patients presenting with neurologic adverse reactions to cancer-directed therapy is challenging and would benefit from a multidisciplinary approach in order to optimize outcomes.
