We describe three confirmed cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung with metastasis to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with two having epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions in all available specimens. One of these patients received EGFR tyrosine kinase directed therapy for a brief period with some symptom relief. Consideration of EGFR exon 19 mutation testing in SCC of the lung, particularly for those with GI tract metastasis, may identify this potentially drug-targetable entity.
我们描述了3例确诊的肺鳞状细胞癌(SCC)转移至胃肠道(GI)的病例,其中2例在所有可用标本中均存在表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)外显子19缺失。这些患者中有1例接受了短期的EGFR酪氨酸激酶定向治疗,症状有所缓解。对于肺SCC,尤其是那些伴有胃肠道转移的患者,考虑进行EGFR外显子19突变检测,可能会识别出这种具有潜在药物可靶向性的实体。
