Learn About Neurotoxicity Syndromes

What is the definition of Neurotoxicity Syndromes?
Neurotoxicity syndromes is a term used to describe neurological disorders caused by exposure to toxic substances. Neurotoxicity may occur after exposure to substances such as drugs; chemotherapy; radiation; heavy metals, such as lead or mercury; pesticides; industrial and/or cleaning solvents; petroleum-based products and dispersants; some foods and food additives; and some naturally occurring environmental substances. Exposure to such toxic substances disrupts or kills nerve cells, or neurons, that are responsible for brain and nervous system functions. Neurotoxicity may occur by exposure to toxic substances through ingestion, injection, inhalation, spray, direct skin exposure, or other methods.
What are the symptoms of Neurotoxicity Syndromes?
Symptoms of neurotoxicity may be immediate or delayed. Symptoms of neurotoxicity can include weakness, numbness, headache, memory loss, visual disturbances, cognitive difficulties, behavioral changes, and loss of sexual function, among others.

Comprehensive Neuroimaging and Molecular Biomarkers of Neurotoxicity Following CAR T-Cell Therapy

Summary: The goal of this study is to understand why some people receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for cancer experience neurotoxicity. The main question it aims to answer is: Can a novel tool be developed to identify early the patients who will develop immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS, also called neurotoxicity) after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-ce...
