Cisplatin is a platinum-based antineoplastic agent used to treat cancers of solid organs. Neuropathy is one of its major side effects, necessitating dose reduction or cessation. Previous studies suggested that cisplatin causes microvascular toxicity, including pericyte detachment. This study aimed to clarify whether these alterations occurred in the blood-nerve barrier (BNB) of capillaries after cisplatin treatment.
