  • Title: Docetaxel.
    Author: Leahy M, Howell A.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(4):141-4. PubMed ID: 9166374.
    Abstract:
    Paclitaxel was the first taxoid to become available. It was found to be an active anticancer agent but with significant toxicity. Docetaxel is a semisynthetic taxoid and the next of a fast-expanding class of drugs. Studies suggest that docetaxel may be more effective and less toxic than paclitaxel.
