We describe here an 83-year-old woman who simultaneously developed advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung and acute myeloid leukemia. She could not receive intensive chemotherapy due to poor performance status. This patient was treated with a combination of gefitinib, low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin. This combination could be safely administered in the elderly patient with poor performance status and was effective for both lung cancer and acute myeloid leukemia.}, issn = {0250-7005}, URL = {https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/25/3C/2579}, eprint = {https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/25/3C/2579.full.pdf}, journal = {Anticancer Research} }
