Abstract

Paclitaxel (PCX) is the first-line choice for the treatment of several types of cancer, including breast, ovarian and lung cancers. However, patients who receive even a single dose with PCX commonly develop mechanical and cold allodynia, a symptom known as PCX-associated acute pain syndrome (P-APS). Here we assessed possible involvement of kinin-kallikrein and renin-angiotensin systems in P-APS in mice.
