Restless legs during cancer treatment - often missed, often treatable.
About one in five people on chemotherapy screens positive for restless legs. It is rarely asked about, because during cancer treatment an explanation is usually already at hand for every restless night. Iron values are measured regularly, but in cancer they are hard to read.
This volume shows by what routes the illness and its treatment make the legs restless: iron deficiency, chemotherapy, anti-sickness drugs, anti-hormonal treatment, steroids and nerve damage. And it explains why ferritin is hard to read in cancer and which value belongs beside it.
On two questions that trouble many people it sets out what the studies show and what they do not: does restless legs cause cancer, and do the RLS medicines? The final part reaches through to palliative care, including the warnings about medicine combinations that matter there.

- How common RLS is in cancer, and why those figures must be read with care
