Abstract

Peripheral neuropathy is a rare complication of the commonly used cytotoxic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). We report a case of 5-FU-induced peripheral neuropathy in a patient with metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Discontinuation of 5-FU therapy is recommended in case of 5-FU-related neurotoxicity
