“…35,36 In addition to peripheral and facial edema, therapy has been associated with pleural and pericardial effusions. 35,37,38 Coleman et al reported edema in 14% of patients and ascites in 10% of patients (grade 3 in 2 of 3 patients). New-onset ascites in ovarian cancer generally is interpreted as disease progression.…”

“…There were 479 total courses (28 consecutive days) of imatinib in doses of 260–570 mg/m 2 /day and the frequency of non‐hematologic adverse events is given in Table I. The great majority were grade 1 or 2, although the occasional occurrence of considerable fluid retention has been reported by others 59. No effort was made to define a maximum tolerated dose because of the high response rate at doses of imatinib comparable to or greater than those used routinely in adults: all patients (n = 14) with chronic phase CML had complete hematologic responses and 83% (12/14) had a cytogenetic complete remission.…”

“…22 The negligible effects of imatinib on PDGFRB may explain the low incidence of this event with this agent. [23][24][25] Another possible explanation is that tyrosine kinases responsible for capillary integrity may be overexpressed in the pulmonary vasculature and/or pleural epithelium. Src regulates focal adhesion and adherens junctions, two subcellular matrix attachment structures key in regulating cell adhesion, 26,27 which may play a role in the stability of the pleural epithelium and pleural space homeostasis.…”
