Summary

This study analyzes DNA from 575 breast cancer patients who received the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. Researchers want to find genetic differences that make some people more likely to develop nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) from treatment. By comparing DNA from those who had severe nerve damage and those who did not, they hope to identify risk markers that could help personalize chemotherapy in the future.
