Gemcitabine is an increasingly used and generally well tolerated anticancer drug. Rarely, it leads to potentially fatal pulmonary toxicity.
We describe the clinical features of 5 patients with gemcitabine-related pulmonary toxicity. Due to early diagnosis, prompt discontinuation of the drug, and treatment with steroids, toxicity was reversible in all cases.
Early recognition of gemcitabine-related pulmonary toxicity is mandatory.
吉西他滨是一种使用越来越广泛且总体耐受性良好的抗癌药物。它极少会导致潜在致命的肺部毒性。
我们描述了5例吉西他滨相关肺部毒性患者的临床特征。由于早期诊断、及时停药以及使用类固醇治疗,所有病例的毒性均可逆。
必须早期识别吉西他滨相关的肺部毒性。
