The combination of carboplatin and etoposide is currently considered the most appropriate regimen for treating elderly patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Previous reports on elderly patients, 70 years or older, found that the recommended dose was close to that of younger patients. Then, we conducted a phase I study of carboplatin and etoposide in elderly patients, 75 years or older, with SCLC. This study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).
