P44.02 Mild Interstitial Pneumonia as a Risk Factor for Chemotherapy-Induced Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Pneumonia in Patients with Lung Cancer

Co-existing of interstitial pneumonia is reported to be a risk factor for chemotherapy-induced acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia in patients with lung cancer (LC). Although it has been recently demonstrated that co-existing of interstitial lung abnormalities on chest CT is associated with poor prognosis in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, it has not been clarified the association between mild interstitial pneumonia and chemotherapy-induced acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia in detail.
