Nanoliposomal irinotecan for use in treating small cell lung cancer

摘要

Novel therapies for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) include the administration of an antineoplastic therapy consisting of liposomal irinotecan administered once every two weeks, optionally including the administration of other non-antineoplastic agents to the patient such as the administration of a corticosteroid and an anti-emetic to the patient prior to the administration of the irinotecan liposome.
