title: Toxic dermatitis in patients treated with Taxotere® (docetaxel): three case reports.
abstract: Three out of 25 patients receiving the same batch docetaxel, developed toxic dermatitis within 5 days after administration. Timing of occurrence was equal and symptoms were similar. Two patients continued with docetaxel without any problems. There is no assignable cause found that could explain the toxic dermatitis.
