Objective: To analyze hypersensitivity reactions to carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients treated with systemic administration of chemotherapy (carboplatin and/or paclitaxel).
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Hradec Kralove.
Background: To evaluate the correlation of resistance proteins LRP (Lung Resistance Protein), Pgp (P-glycoprotein), MRP (Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein), MRP3 a MRP5 with stage, grade and histological type. To asses correlation of these resistance proteins with drug resistance/drug sensitivity in vitro by means of the MTT assay in ovarian cancer patients. To find the clinical outcome of these data.
