Abstract

A 73-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of general malaise, loss of appetite and body weight loss. Chest X-ray film showed left-sided pleural effusion. Computed tomographic (CT) scan of the chest also demonstrated left-sided pleural effusion with lung tumor and lymphnode swelling. Repeated treatment with 60 mg/m(2) of cisplatin on day 1 followed by 80 mg/m(2) of irinotecan on days 1 and 8 were effective in this patient.
