Neuromuscular Oncology

Neuromuscular Oncology is a specialized field that merges neuromuscular medicine with cancer care. It focuses on understanding and treating muscle and nerve disorders caused by cancer, including those arising from tumors affecting the muscles and nerves, or from cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. This specialty addresses conditions like muscle weakness and neuropathy in cancer patients, aiming to improve quality of life and develop effective treatment strategies. By studying how cancer interacts with the neuromuscular system, experts can provide better support and management for individuals facing these challenges.
