Hi everyone,
following on from some other posts where people had a severe allergic reaction etc. to Taxol, a friend sent me a link - Abraxane also called nab-paclitaxel, according to British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) Epithelial Ovarian / Fallopian Tube / Primary Peritoneal Cancer Guidelines, is given in the UK to patients who are allergic to or do not tolerate paclitaxel. I know it's used for other types of cancer here in Ireland but has anyone heard of it been used for Ovarian Cancer? It seems it is a type of taxol drug but carried into the body via albumen, where as the paclitaxel & docetaxel are dissolved in solvent.
