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.

Aim: To present the characteristics of drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) among taxane recipients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and to describe the results of rapid drug desensitization (RDD).
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study included 45 patients who were treated with taxane for NSCLC and were found to be hypersensitive to taxane. All patients were administered the standard 3-bag, 12-step RDD protocol following the development of DHR.

Taxanes in the treatment of cancer are associated with a significant incidence of hypersensitivity reactions, which may preclude their use in patients in need of first line therapy. Drug desensitization induces transient immunological tolerance and has allowed the reintroduction of taxanes in highly allergic patients. Increase the knowledge of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) during the administration of taxanes.

Background: Taxanes adjuvant therapy is recommended in certain high risk or metastatic tumors, particularly in lung and breast cancer, but also in other types of cancer like ovarian. The incidence of severe adverse drug reactions to paclitaxel is of approximately 10%.
Objectives: Analyze type I hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel and their management in the Mexican population.

Introduction: Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody drug conjugate used for the treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Hypersensitivity reactions to brentuximab vedotin may include cutaneous, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological signs and symptoms.
Case Report: We present the case of a 23-year-old Mexican female with stage IV progressive classical nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma who received multiple previous chemotherapy regimens.
