Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas can be very resistant to treatment if they progress after standard therapy with surgery and radiation. We present the case of a patient with a multiply recurrent pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma which demonstrated a sustained partial response to a combination regimen of the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib and tumor treating fields. The regimen proved tolerable and efficacious in this case.
多形性黄色星形细胞瘤如果在接受手术和放疗的标准治疗后进展,可能对治疗具有很强的抗性。我们报告了一例多形性黄色星形细胞瘤多次复发的患者,该患者对BRAF抑制剂维莫非尼和肿瘤电场治疗的联合方案表现出持续的部分缓解。该方案在该病例中证明是可耐受且有效的。
