Brief Summary: RATIONALE Learning about the side effects of chemotherapy may help plan treatment and may help patients live more comfortably

PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying nerve function in older diabetic patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for metastatic solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine changes in peripheral nerve function in older patients with diabetes and metastatic solid tumors treated with taxane or platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens
Determine the extent to which age pre-existing diabetes mellitus and level of glycemic control predict a differential pattern in outcome beyond the effect of the drugs in patients treated with these regimens
Develop a clinical assessment that would predict whether or not patients with diabetes mellitus are more or less susceptible to the neurotoxic effects of chemotherapy

OUTLINE This is a longitudinal study

Patients undergo an interview and clinical evaluation to measure demographic data cutaneous sensation gait and balance vibration lower extremity muscle strength orthostatic blood pressure and glycemic control Patients are evaluated at baseline every 3 weeks during chemotherapy for up to 4 treatments and at 2 months after completion of treatment

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study
