[A case of non-small-cell lung cancer successfully treated using combination chemotherapy with CDDP and vinorelbine].

: A 67-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of bloody sputum. A plain chest X-ray a CT scan revealed a tumor shadow 3 cm in size in the middle lobe of the right lung, multiple nodular shadows in the bilateral lung fields and enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. A tumor biopsy done under bronchoscopy revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lungs (cT2N3M1). She was given two courses of combination therapy consisting of cisplatin (80 mg/m2) and vinorelbine (20 mg/m2). The primary tumor in the middle lobe of the right lung and the lung metastases were markedly reduced in size, and a complete response was obtained. The only adverse events were grade 4 neutropenia and grade 2 nausea and vomiting.
