Summary

This study looks at whether doctors can consistently measure the amount of paclitaxel (a chemotherapy drug) in the blood of cancer patients. The goal is to see if this information can help adjust doses to kill cancer while reducing nerve damage, a common side effect. About 22 adults with various solid tumors (like breast, lung, or ovarian cancer) will participate. The study is currently suspended.
