A 66-year-old female undergoing a left upper lobectomy for stage IB lung cancer developed multiple organ failure including liver injury, acute pancreatitis, and renal failure after taking UFT as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The adverse effects of UFT showed quite rapid progress. It is important to instruct patients to have blood tests immediately when they have some gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, epigastralgia, oliguria, and fever.
