Cancer Therapies

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Pharmacology
Clinical Pharmacy

Background:

Carboplatin is a key chemotherapeutic agent for gynecologic cancers.
Reexposure to carboplatin can trigger hypersensitivity reactions, posing risks to patients.
Existing carboplatin desensitization protocols lacked standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

To update an existing carboplatin desensitization protocol.
To align the protocol with current best practices.
To achieve cost savings through reduced labor and shorter hospital stays.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a revised four-bag, four-hour carboplatin desensitization protocol.
Retrospective review of five completed desensitization procedures.
Assessment of safety and tolerability using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

Main Results:

Five successful desensitizations were performed for two patients.
Each desensitization yielded pharmacy cost savings of $200 ($108 supply, $92 labor).
Nursing cost savings approximated $400 per desensitization.

Conclusions:

The updated carboplatin desensitization protocol is safe and well-tolerated.
The protocol offers significant cost savings for healthcare institutions.
Standardization of carboplatin desensitization improves patient management.
