Second‐line, low‐dose, weekly paclitaxel in patients with stage IIIB/IV nonsmall cell lung carcinoma who fail first‐line chemotherapy with carboplatin plus paclitaxel

Abstract

Second-line, low-dose, weekly paclitaxel had activity in selected patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who failed first-line chemotherapy with carboplatin plus paclitaxel. The toxicity profile of this approach is extremely favorable, and outcome expectations are similar to the outcome expectations with other single agents in this setting.
