Can Abraxane® (nanoparticle albumin-bound [NAB] paclitaxel) be given instead of Taxol® (paclitaxel) in the postoperative treatment of cancer?
Although there is no large experience of substituting NAB paclitaxel for paclitaxel in this setting, there are now pilot data beginning to emerge showing that this approach may be feasible. You should discuss it in more detail with your oncologist. All new drugs go through this phase of testing before there can be widespread endorsement for their use.
