Case Report: Successful Rechallenge With Cisplatin Following Cisplatin
Induced Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident In A Patient with Small Cell
Lung Cancer.
Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used platinum-based chemotherapy agent. Its common
adverse effects are neuropathy, nephrotoxicity, electrolyte abnormality,
and rarely causing thrombotic vascular toxicity. We present a patient
known to have Small-cell Lung Cancer who developed ischemic
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after receiving chemotherapy regimen
including cisplatin.
