Possible Lurbinectedin-associated Cardiotoxicity in a Patient with Metastatic Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: It has been a major challenge finding an effective second-line therapy with a favorable safety profile for metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in patients who failed or relapsed following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Lurbinectedin was approved for SCLC in patients who relapsed or failed first-line treatment. The most common adverse event associated with it was myelosuppression. Till date, no cardiotoxicity has been described with this medication in the literature.
