An adolescent rat model of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a significant clinical problem that can be effectively treated with vincristine, a vinca alkaloid-based chemotherapeutic agent. However, nearly all children receiving vincristine treatment develop vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN). The i...
