Peripheral neuropathy after high-dose cytosine arabinoside, daunorubicin, and asparaginase consolidation for acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. 1986

B L Powell, and R L Capizzi, and E S Lyerly, and M R Cooper

Two patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) developed peripheral motor and sensory neuropathies after consolidation chemotherapy with high-dose cytosine arabinoside (ara-C), daunorubicin, and asparaginase. Evidence for ara-C and daunorubicin-induced peripheral neuropathies is reported. Despite the frequent use of these agents, only two cases of peripheral neuropathy after systemic therapy have been previously described; neurotoxic effects may be potentiated and become clinically important when the three drugs are used in combination.

D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.
