Survivors’ Perspectives on Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity and Barriers to Ototoxicity Monitoring [PDF]
Journal of Cancer SurvivorshipCisplatin-based chemoradiation therapy (CRT) causes ototoxicity in survivors of head and neck (H&N) cancer, but rates of audiologic follow-up are poor. Our objective is to identify (1) QOL domains that are affected by treatment-related ototoxicity and (2) barriers to ototoxicity monitoring among survivors of H&N cancer to inform patient-centered ...

Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity: the current state of ototoxicity monitoring in New Zealand. [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Many well-known pharmacologic agents have been shown to have toxic effects to the cochleo-vestibular system. Examples of such ototoxic agents include cisplatin and aminoglycoside antibiotics. Ototoxicity monitoring consists of a comprehensive pattern of audiological assessments designed to detect the onset of any hearing loss.
