Abstract
The use of high-dose chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer has been an area of recent interest and the role of such treatment in the management of metastatic breast cancer is still to be defined. Multiple studies have suggested that such treatment can be given with minimal morbidity and mortality. We describe two cases of life-threatening interstitial pneumonitis, following high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) with cyclophosphamide, thiotepa and docetaxel with stem cell rescue given for metastatic breast cancer. The available relevant literature is reviewed. Bone Marrow Transplantation (2001) 27, 559–563. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
