• Drug-induced lung disease is commonly encountered, especially in the oncology setting. Diagnosis is challenging because clinical and radiologic findings are nonspecific, often overlapping with other lung pathologies in these patients due to underlying neoplasia, infection, or other treatment effects such as radiotherapy. Furthermore, oncology patients often receive multiple antineoplastic agents concurrently, and virtually every agent has an association with lung injury. In this article, we will review a variety of antineoplastic agents that are associated with drug-induced injury and discuss incidence, their typical timing of onset, and imaging features.
