Azithromycin enhances the favorable results of paclitaxel and cisplatin in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

D. J. Chu, Yao, D. E., Zhuang, Y. F., Hong, Y., Zhu, X. C., Fang, Z. R., Yu, J., and Yu, Z. Y., Azithromycin enhances the favorable results of paclitaxel and cisplatin in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, vol. 13, pp. 2796-2805, 2014.

Although new chemotherapeutic drugs have been applied constantly, their efficacy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still not satisfactory. In recent years, epidemiological investigations have shown that lung cancer may be induced by chronic Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) infection, since stable high titers of Cpn antibodies, especially IgA, are a hallmark of chronic infections.
