Summary
This study tests whether applying cold (cryotherapy) to hands and feet can prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin in people with stage III colon cancer. About 40 participants will be randomly assigned to receive cryotherapy or not during their standard chemo. The goal is to see if fewer people develop peripheral neuropathy—numbness, tingling, or pain—when using cold therapy.
