Solid tumors have a markedly decreased incidence in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), including lung cancers.
The clinical presentation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in DS was reported and literature on the subject reviewed.
In individuals with DS, the risk of lung cancer appears markedly lower. EGFR mutation and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) resistance also exist in DS with lung cancer.
Clinicians should consider EGFR mutation and EGFR-TKIs resistance in lung cancer patients with DS.
唐氏综合征(DS)患者实体瘤的发病率显著降低,包括肺癌。
报告了DS中表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的临床表现,并对该主题的文献进行了综述。
在DS患者中,肺癌风险似乎明显较低。患有肺癌的DS患者中也存在EGFR突变和EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)耐药性。
临床医生应考虑DS肺癌患者中的EGFR突变和EGFR-TKIs耐药性。
