AIM:To investigate oxaliplatin-induced severe anaphylactic reactions (SAR) in metastatic colorectal cancer in a retrospective case series analysis and to conduct a systemic literature review.METHODS:During a 6-year period from 2006 to 2011 at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital,a total of 412 patients exposed to oxaliplatin-related chemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed.Relevant Englishlanguage studies regarding life-threatening SAR following oxaliplatin were also reviewed in MEDLINE(R) and PubMed(R) search.RESULTS:Eight patients (1.9%,8 of 412 cases) were identified.Seven patients were successful resuscitated without any sequelae and one patient expired.We changed the chemotherapy regimen in five patients and rechallenged oxaliplatin use in patient 3.Twenty-three relevant English-language studies with 66 patients were reported.Patients received a median of 10 cycles of oxaliplatin (range,2 to 29).Most common symptoms were respiratory distress (60%),fever (55%),and hypotension (54%).Three fatal events were reported (4.5%).Eleven patients (16%) of the 66 cases were rechallenged by oxaliplatin.CONCLUSION:SAR must be considered in patients receiving oxaliplatin-related chemotherapy,especially in heavily pretreated patients.Further studies on the mechanism,predictors,preventive methods and management of oxaliplatin-related SAR are recommended.
