Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group Neurotoxicity Index (FACT/GOG-NTX)
This scale is mainly used to evaluate chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), especially the neurotoxic reactions in gynecological tumor treatment. Through this scale, it is possible to quantify the neurotoxic symptoms that patients experience after receiving chemotherapy, such as sensory abnormalities, motor dysfunction, etc., in order to better monitor and manage the patient's health status.
Secondary outcomes
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire CIPN-20.
This scale is used to evaluate the impact of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) on the quality of life of patients.
