Evaluation of gefitinib systemic exposure in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer patients with gefitinib-induced severe hepatotoxicity
Severe hepatotoxicity induced by the standard dose of gefitinib (250 mg daily) often becomes manageable by dose reduction to 250 mg every other day. Thus, we hypothesized that systemic exposure of standard-dos...
