Abraxine

Hello all,

I have heard of Abraxine being used for bc mets; however, my aunt is being advised to use it for ovarian ca mets. Have any of you had any experience with the use of this new chemo drug? What I understand, it hasn't been "approved" yet. Thanks.:chair:

Abraxane is a newly approved chemo drug for breast cancer. It's a protein bound form of paclitaxel which touts much less severe side effects than the original paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is also a first line treatment in ovarian cancer so it makes sense that Abraxane could be used for ovarian cancer. A wonderful site for patient information is the Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center site (mskcc.com). It has all kinds of information on each type of cancer and the treatment that is generally used. Good luck to you.
