Abstract
The standard therapeutic strategy for patients with advanced cancer is treatment with antineoplastic drugs. With the progress in the development of antineoplastic drugs, the prognosis of these patients has improved, despite the difficulty of achieving a complete cure. Molecular target antineoplastic drugs have often provided a paradigm shift in cancer therapy and currently hold a prominent position in cancer therapeutic strategies. While these drugs have clinical benefits, the toxicity profile of these drugs is different from that of conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. Molecular target antineoplastic drugs consisting of various types of molecules may demonstrate diverse characteristics, although drug-induced lung injury (DLI) is commonly observed in treatment with most of these antineoplastic drugs. In this chapter, reports of DLI associated with molecular target neoplastic drugs were reviewed in order to understand its characteristics and thereby lead to prevention of its occurrence and exacerbation. Diverse patterns of DLI have been commonly observed in patients treated with molecular target antineoplastic drugs, whereas similar DLI patterns have been obtained from various drug types. The incidence and frequency of fatality from DLI also display a wide range. These events were more frequently observed in Japanese patients than in other ethnic groups, suggesting the association of ethnicity with the development and severity of DLI. Clinicians should note the diversity of DLI and the role of ethnicity in DLI in treatment with molecular target antineoplastic drugs.
