title: [A 65-year-old man with liver metastases after lung cancer resection that responded to concomitant use of gemcitabine and carboplatin].
abstract: A 65-year-old male with liver metastases after lung cancer resection was treated with five courses of chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine (GEM) 1,000 mg/m2 (day 1, 8, every 4 weeks) plus carboplatin (CBDCA) AUC 6 (day 1, every 4 weeks). A partial response (PR) was achieved, his symptoms abated and his quality of life(QOL) improved. Although bone marrow suppression was observed as a side effect, it was within the tolerable range and did not interfere with therapy. This approach may be worth considering as a first-line anti-cancer chemotherapy for recurrence lung cancer.
