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.
