Rapidly Progressive Lung Sarcomatoid Carcinoma Managed with Doxorubicin Plus Ifosfamide and Pemetrexed

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare subtype of nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It carries a poor prognosis, even among other subtypes of NSCLC. Currently, most treatment strategies for PSC are derived from regimens aimed at managing soft tissue sarcomas or NSCLC. The use of doxorubici...
