Hypersensitivity reactions to intraperitoneal administration of carboplatin in ovarian cancer: the first report of a case.
Hypersensitivity reactions to intravenous administration of carboplatin (CP) have been previously reported. However, hypersensitivity reaction to intraperitoneal administration of CP has not yet been reported. A 66-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian carcinoma underwent six courses of intraperitoneal administration of carboplatin. During the seventh course of chemotherapy, delivered intraperitoneally, she developed hypersensitivity reactions with hypotension to carboplatin. Etoposide was used for the further chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of hypersensitivity reactions to intraperitoneal administration of carboplatin.
