Abstract

The risk management of interstitial pneumonitis in cancer chemotherapy not only involves an adverse event by an anticancer drug, but there are four steps with the incidence of interstitial pneumonitis: 1) the time before chemotherapy treatment, selection of chemotherapy regimens and patients, 2) the time chemotherapy treatment is performed, 3) the time during following-up, 4) the time when interstitial pneumonitis occurs. It is necessary to decrease the risk of interstitial pneumonitis by several steps, cooperating with an entire medical staff.
