Neurotoxicity of Commonly Used Antineoplastic Agents
Abstract
THE incidence of neurologic disorders has been steadily increasing in several neoplastic diseases as recent advances in therapy have lengthened patient survival.1 2 3 The neurologic complications of cancer most frequently result from metastasis to the nervous system or compression of neural structures by extraneural tumor. In addition, an interesting group of nonmetastatic neuromuscular disorders has recently been described,4 , 5 and the broad concept of "carcinomatous neuromyopathy" is frequently invoked to explain obscure neurologic symptoms in patients with cancer.6 However, it is also important to realize that neurologic dysfunction may be iatrogenic — i.e., caused by the treatment of cancer. Radiation myelitis and . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
