Polyneuropathies are one of the most common long-term side effects of oncological therapies. With the help of targeted clinical examinations including vibration sensation and functional tests, they are reliably detected and treated. However, therapeutic options are still limited. Validated active trainings are becoming increasingly established. Furthermore, the socio-medical relevance of therapeutically induced polyneuropathies has not been sufficiently researched. At present, there are only few data available that describe the effects of this long-term toxicity on participation in working life. The following article deals with clinical course of therapeutically induced polyneuropathies and addresses the socio-medical relevance with regard to performance in working life and assessment according to the law on severely disabled persons in long-term care.
