Welcome to the ninth episode of Supportive Care Matters, a podcast Hosted by Medical Oncologist Professor Bogda Koczwara AM from Adelaide, Australia.

Navigating the silent struggle that many cancer survivors face, this episode promises insights into the lesser-known yet impactful world of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
With the expertise of Professor David Goldstein and Associate Professor Susanna Park, this episode sheds light on how CIPN disrupts daily life in ways that go unnoticed by the medical community.
From the nuanced challenges of assessing the severity of this condition to the cognitive toll it takes on patients, Bogda leads a discussion on the critical need for sensitive and precise management strategies that can truly make a difference.
The conversation takes a deep look into the tools and techniques that are transforming how we understand and measure CIPN. Our guests articulate the importance of patient-reported experiences in guiding interventions and the potential benefits of exercise in mitigating neuropathic symptoms. Through this dialogue, we recognise the dedication and collaborative efforts that are pushing the envelope in neuropathy research and care, offering a glimmer of hope for those battling with the long-lasting effects of their cancer treatments.
This episode stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the ongoing efforts to provide supportive care that truly matters. Subscribe and like to join our mission of bringing these crucial conversations to the forefront and make supportive care matter.
This conversation is produced by The Oncology Network.
