Abstract: | A 70-year-old woman with non-small-cell lung cancer developed severe nail toxicity while she was being treated with docetaxel at three-week intervals. Docetaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent of the taxane family. Taxanes are well known to cause nail changes, but mainly when used on a weekly basis. |
