In patients undergoing cancer surgery, reported PA is common. Failure to question the unproven PA may impair perioperative outcomes. For this reason, patient and provider education on which reactions constitute a true allergy would also assist in allergy de-labeling. In addition, skin testing and oral antibiotic challenges can be performed to identify the safe antibiotics and to de-label appropriate patients.
