Chemotherapy-induced pulmonary toxicity in lung cancer management

Abstract

Because of their own prognostic and therapeuthic implications the following etiologies have to be firstly considered in the initial diagnostic approach: lung infection, either by conventional pathogens or atypical microorganisms, malignancy-related thromboembolic pulmonary disease, local tumor progression, iatrogenic intra-alveolar hemorrhage, radiotherapy-induced adverse effects, transfusion reactions, postoperative complications

The protective effect of taurine, piracetam and vinpocetine on etoposideinduced inflammation and brain injury in the serum of female albino rats

“…It is used alone or in conjugation with other antineoplastic drugs against a wide variety of malignancies [8][9][10]. Yet, the clinical use of ETP is often limited due to its toxic effects on organs including liver, kidney, heart and lungs [11][12][13][14][15][16]. ETP exerts its cytotoxic effect by impairing the activity of topoisomerase II enzyme which eventually results in single-and double-stranded DNA breaks during DNA replication.…”
