It is believed that Abraxane is more effective at treating tumors than Taxol for the following reasons: - Higher doses of paclitaxel can be delivered without the need for solvents. - A higher percentage of the paclitaxel reaches the tumor because albumin receptors in breast cancer cells prefer albumin as their delivery packet because albumin normally transports nutrients to cells.
Additionally, Abraxane - has decreased side effects due to solvent related (polyoxyethylated castor oil found in Taxol) hypersensitivity reactions. - decreased use of medications to help prevent the solvent (polyoxyethylated castor oil) hypersensitivity reactions. - The intravenous time of administration is decreased.

Benefits of Abraxane vs. Taxol or Onxal are: - more effective at treating tumors because a higher dosage can be delivered. - decrease in side effects from solvent related hypersensitivity reactions. - decreased use of medications to combat the solvent related hypersensitivity reactions. - decreased time of administration.
The disadvantage is that the Abraxane is more expensive than the Taxol or Onxal.
