FIGURE 1 Percentage of grade 3 or 4 leukopenia (A), thrombocytopenia (B), and fatigue (C) per patient in different treatment regimens.

B: Gemcitabine-containing regimens, such as single-agent gemcitabine, docetaxel plus gemcitabine, and vinorelbine plus gemcitabine, induced significantly more severe thrombocytopenia than other regimens. C: Docetaxel 40 mg/m2 and vinorelbine plus cisplatin induced more frequent severe fatigue than other regimens. Gem, gemcitabine; D35, docetaxel 35 mg/m2 weekly schedule; D40, docetaxel 40 mg/m2 weekly schedule; D75, docetaxel 75/m2 every 3 weeks schedule; Gef, gefitinib; D+I, docetaxel plus ifosfamide; D+G, docetaxel plus gemcitabine; V+G, vinorelbine plus gemcitabine; V+C, vinorelbine plus cisplatin.
