What Is Protein-Bound Paclitaxel Used For?Many people wonder, "What is protein-bound paclitaxel used for?" Part of a class of drugs known as taxanes, protein-bound paclitaxel is used for the treatment of breast cancer. It is specifically used for treating metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to other chemotherapy medications and breast cancer that has returned within six months of adjuvant chemotherapy. "Off-label" protein-bound paclitaxel uses can include the treatment of several other types of cancer (including ovarian, bladder, and lung cancer).
