Platinum-based chemotherapies are widely used in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies and are standard treatment for initial treatment and recurrent diseases. Due to the widespread use of platinum-based regimens, the management of platinum hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) is an important issue for physicians treating gynecologic malignancies. Patients receiving multiple lines of platinum therapy, with long intervals between platinum lines and history of allergic reaction, and status of germline <i>BRCA</i> mutation are at an increased risk of platinum HSRs. The development of desensitization protocols to allow patients with platinum hypersensitivity to receive further therapy is mandatory. Each institution should work with its' multidisciplinary team to select a protocol that best suits individual practice setting and patient population to maximize patients care.
