Background
A description of the experience
Paclitaxel - trade name Taxol - is a medication used to treat a number of types of cancer including: ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer among others. It and docetaxel represent the taxane family of drugs. Paclitaxel's mechanism of action involves interference with the normal breakdown of microtubules during cell division.
Common side effects include: hair loss, muscle and joint pains, and diarrhea, among others. It results in a greater risk of infections which can be potentially serious. Use during pregnancy often results in problems in the infant.
Paclitaxel was discovered in 1962 as a result of a U.S. National Cancer Institute-funded screening program; being isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia, thus its name "taxol".
