Toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with TS-1 in a patient with gastric cancer.
    Japanese journal of clinical oncology, 2011, Volume: 41, Issue:5

    A 64-year-old female who has undergone D2 total gastrectomy was started on adjuvant treatment with TS-1. Four weeks after initiation of TS-1, the patient developed a rare complication of life-threatening toxic epidermal necrolysis. TS-1 was discontinued and the patient received treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and supportive care with resolution of toxic epidermal necrolysis. TS-1 has been used for the treatment of gastric cancer, both in the adjuvant and metastatic setting, and is increasingly being used in other malignancies such as colon, pancreatic and non-small cell lung cancer. TS-1 is generally well tolerated. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with the usage of TS-1.
