Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is common with specific semiological characteristics. When CIPN appears, there are many difficulties in guaranteeing sustained treatment, especially with optimal protocol. Moreover, CIPN have bad repercussions on quality of life after cancer disease. In this article, we have achieved a current state of CIPN and try to report details about semiological characteristics and topography. We have also produced some epidemiological data. Nonetheless, we have not voluntarily introduced treatment because it will be the topic of further work.
