Abstract:
One hundred eighty six patients of non-small cell lung cancer treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy were analyzed. Significant incidence of anemia was observed in PS 2-3 patients as compared to PS 0-1 cases. Incidence of thrombocytopenia was significant in cases 70 or more years old as compared those less than 50 years old. No correlation was detected between myelotoxicity and aging.
