Oxaliplatin-induced hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) are commonly encountered in first-line therapies for various malignancies. Recent research indicates that these reactions can include cytokine release reactions (CRRs), which are characterized by a marked increase in interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, sometimes rising as much as 40-fold. Standard management strategies for HSRs typically involve desensitization protocols and routine treatments.
