HRCT yields an overall sensitivity and negative predictive value of 90%, in identifying the cause of ARF in cancer patients with lung infiltrates, but low specificity and positive predictive value [7] . Pulmonary toxicity of antineoplastic agents, known as drug-induced toxicity (DIT), is a common cause of respiratory failure in oncologic patients and should be included in the differential diagnosis of ARF in patients who are on or have been treated with antineoplastic agents. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) should always be included in the differential diagnosis of acute respiratory failure in oncologic patients, in particular when chemotherapy with cardiotoxic drugs has been preceded.	./cache/cord-017374-clctlm5l.txt	./txt/cord-017374-clctlm5l.txt
