Bortezomib-induced motor neuropathy: A case report.

Clinicians need to be aware of the likely risk for motor neuropathy associated with bortezomib. Risk factors like older age and pre-existing neuropathy can predispose patients to this adverse effect, and clinicians should monitor for this toxicity and facilitate dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy if warranted. Sometimes, patients may also need further treatment with steroids or IVIG.
