What Is Docetaxel Used For?
Docetaxel uses are primarily for the treatment of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, and head and neck cancer. Healthcare providers may also occasionally recommend “off-label” docetaxel uses, such as treating ovarian cancer and malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer). Docetaxel is not approved for use in treating cancer in children.
