Monitoring the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with small-cell lung cancer during chemotherapy: equations based on serum creatinine or cystatin C?

ConclusionsThe eGFR calculated by the CKD-EPI equation changed more significantly between each chemotherapy cycle than did the eGFR from the other equations based on Scr or CysC in patients with SCLC. Oncologists should pay more attention to the renal function of specific patient groups during treatment.
