Pemetrexed is approved as a first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with cisplatin and as a single agent for second-line treatment or for patients who show no disease progression after four cycles of platinum-based doublet induction chemotherapy as maintenance therapy. Pemetrexed has a modest toxicity profile and has not traditionally been regarded as a cause of interstitial pneumonitis. Here, we report on a rare case of pemetrexed-induced pneumonitis in a patient with NSCLC.
培美曲塞已被批准与顺铂联合用于治疗晚期非鳞状非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC),也可作为二线治疗药物,或用于铂类双药诱导化疗 4 个周期后无疾病进展的患者作为维持治疗。培美曲塞的毒性谱适中,传统上不被认为是间质性肺炎的病因。在此,我们报告了一例 NSCLC 患者使用培美曲塞引起的肺炎的罕见病例。
