Respiratory There are reports of interstitial pneumonitis after treatment with docetaxel [123, 124 ]. In one case series four patients developed symptoms within 1-2 weeks of receiving docetaxel. All ended up requiring mechanical ventilation and two died from progressive pulmonary disease [123 ]. The risk of interstitial pneumonitis appears to be greater when docetaxel is given in combination with gemcitabine or radiotherapy [125 ]. [Pg.946]
