The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has now changed dramatically in recent years and anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) inhibitors are developing rapidly.
Here we reported a 57-year-old ALK-positive NSCLC man with brain metastases.
A case of lung adenocarcinoma with brain metastases.
Crizotinib was administered orally at a dose of 250mg twice a day until the brain metastases were found. Treatment with orally administered ceritinib at a dose of 450mg/d was initiated after crizotinib treatment.
The patient is currently receiving maintenance ceritinib treatment, with no evidence of extracranial or intracranial tumor progression for 25 months.
Ceritinib may be a good choice for ALK-positive NSCLC patients with brain metastases who acquire resistance to crizotinib.
近年来,非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的治疗发生了巨大变化,间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)抑制剂发展迅速。
在此,我们报告了一名57岁的ALK阳性非小细胞肺癌男性患者,伴有脑转移。
一例肺腺癌伴脑转移。
在发现脑转移之前,口服克唑替尼,剂量为250mg,每日两次。克唑替尼治疗后,开始口服色瑞替尼治疗,剂量为450mg/d。
患者目前正在接受色瑞替尼维持治疗,25个月来无颅外或颅内肿瘤进展的证据。
对于对克唑替尼产生耐药性的ALK阳性非小细胞肺癌脑转移患者,色瑞替尼可能是一个不错的选择。
