E V Williams1, P J Drew, C Gaffney, B M Shrestha, R E Mansel.   

Abstract

The toxic effects of chemotherapy have been noted to cause a range of acute necrotizing colonic inflammatory disorders but until recently these have not been associated with docetaxel chemotherapy. Here we report a case of pancolitis presenting as megacolon following the administration of docetaxel for recurrent breast cancer.
