Anaphylaxis or significant hypersensitivity reaction is one of the most catastrophic potential complications of chemotherapy. There is a 2-5% risk of hypersensitivity with paclitaxel, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for various cancers. Three patients, who developed hypersensitivity to paclitaxel infusion, received docetaxel without allergic reactions. Docetaxel may therefore be an alternative treatment for patients with paclitaxel hypersensitivity.
