Paclitaxel/cisplatin has shown good antitumor activity in patients with advanced NSCLC and should be further evaluated in this disease. Because neurotoxicity has been dose-limiting, methods for its prevention or early detection should further enhance the clinical value of this combination chemotherapy.

No association was found between seborrhoeic keratoses and cancer. Furthermore, our data did not provide support to the validity of the Leser-Trélat sign in patients with internal malignancies.
