Docetaxel is a taxane anti-neoplastic agent commonly used in the treatment of solid-organ tumours. Here, we describe a case of a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who had disease progression following initial treatment with a combination of pembrolizumab, pemetrexed and carboplatin. She received three cycles of docetaxel and had a favourable oncological response but was admitted for breathlessness following the third cycle. A repeat computed tomography scan of the thorax showed predominantly right-sided ground-glass opacities and consolidation. The patient underwent high-risk bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage. Once infection was confidently ruled out, she was started on high-dose steroid therapy and responded to treatment.
多西他赛是一种紫杉烷类抗肿瘤药物,常用于实体器官肿瘤的治疗。在此,我们描述了一例转移性肺腺癌患者的病例,该患者在接受帕博利珠单抗、培美曲塞和卡铂联合初始治疗后疾病进展。她接受了三个周期的多西他赛治疗,肿瘤学反应良好,但在第三个周期后因呼吸困难入院。胸部计算机断层扫描复查显示主要为右侧磨玻璃影和实变。患者接受了高风险支气管镜检查和支气管肺泡灌洗。一旦明确排除感染,就开始对她进行高剂量类固醇治疗,她对治疗有反应。
