Abstract

This prospective analysis showed that the combination of paclitaxel with carboplatin induced an isolated decrease in DLCO level in the absence of clinical or radiologic evidence of toxicity. Further studies are needed to clarify whether this reduction in DLCO is predictive of subsequent pulmonary impairment.
