- Haemoglobin count more than 9.0g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count more than 1500/mm3
- Platelet count more than 100 000/mm3
- Serum creatinine less than or equal to1.5x upper limit of normal range at the investigator site
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and / or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 1.5x upper limit of normal range at the investigator site (It is the same if patients have liver metastases)
- PaO2 or SpO2 more than 60torr or 92%
