Background: We investigated the possible use of clinical signs of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) or of nerve growth factor (NGF) circulating levels to predict the final outcome of CIPN.Patients and methods: Sixty-two women affected by locally advanced squamous cervical carcinoma treated with TP (paclitaxel 175 mg/m(2) over a 3 h infusion plus cisplatin 75 mg/m(2)) or TIP (TP plus ifosphamide 5 mg/m(2)) were examined and scored according to the Total Neuropathy Score (TNS), before and during chemotherapy.Results: A correlation with the final severity of CIPN was observed with vibration perception and deep tendon reflex evaluation, while pin sensibility, strength, and autonomic symptoms and signs were not informative. A highly significant correlation existed between the decrease in circulating levels of NGF and the severity of CIPN (r=-0.579; P
