Interstitial Lung Disease Associated With Vindesine and Radiation Therapy for Carcinoma of the Lung

Abstract
Diffuse interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis occurred after the use of vindesine and radiation therapy in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Clinical improvement occurred after the drug was discontinued and corticosteroid therapy was initiated. Review of the literature reveals no previously reported cases of pulmonary toxicity due to vindesine when used alone or in combination with other therapeutic modalities.
