title: [Successful treatment of weekly paclitaxel for a patient with recurrent lung cancer].
abstract: A 44-year-old man with recurrent lung cancer was readmitted to the hospital for chemotherapy. He was first treated by chemotherapy of CDDP + etoposide, after which the chemotherapy was changed to a regimen of weekly paclitaxel because of his desire to work. He could then be discharged from the hospital and return to his work. No side effects of this frequent schedule on his immune function were noted. He is now doing well and working. The regimen of weekly paclitaxel seemed to be effective in improving QOL because that regimen allowed him to work.
