This study's aim is to show a benefit of Cryocompression (cooling hands with additional compression of the hands) in comparison to Cryotherapy (just cooling hands) in female cancer patients (with gynecological cancer) receiving chemotherapy with taxanes. Patients who are not eligible for either cryocompression or cryotherapy are included in a control group. The expected benefits with additional compression to the cryotherapy are reduction of chemotherapy induced polyneuropathy and reduced nail changes.
