Fifty evaluable patients with advanced lung cancer (28 small cell and 22 non-small cell carcinomas), mainly pretreated by chemotherapy, received 4'-epi-doxorubicin 90 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Two partial responses were obtained in small cell lung cancer patients, which lasted 153 and 168 days. Leukopenia, emesis and alopecia were the most frequent side effects. Two patients who previously received anthracyclines died suddenly of cardiac failure, another patient had severe congestive heart failure, and four others had minor cardiac dysfunctions. 4'-epi-doxorubicin has a modest activity in advanced lung cancer, mainly pretreated by chemotherapy and is not devoid of significant cardiotoxicity in this patient population.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
