Crizotinib-Induced Large Bowel Perforation: A Rare Adverse Event
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 1

This targeted therapy improved clinical outcome and prolonged responses. However, potentially serious adverse effects may occur. We report a case of Crizotinib-induced large bowel perforation.
