Safety and oncological effectiveness after desensitization in patients with previous hypersensitivity reactions to chemotherapy.

Introduction: Taxanes and platinum are first-line treatments in gynecological tumors with high rates of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs), leading to discontinuation of treatment. Desensitization involves induction of temporary tolerance to previously sensitized medications. The aims of this study are to describe HSRs to paclitaxel and carboplatin and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of desensitization protocols in gynecological cancer patients.
