The FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale has satisfactory reliability, validity, sensitivity to change and responsiveness to evaluate CIPN in cancer patients. Future research is needed to explore the factorial structure of the FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale as the published four-factor structure was not supported in this study.
