Anlotinib has been proved to be effective in advanced refractory non-small cell lung cancer.
A 47-year-old female non-smoker was admitted due to persistent chest tightness for a month.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type advanced primary lung adenocarcinoma without brain or bone metastasis.
The patient failed 2 lines of pemetrexed/docetaxel plus carboplatin and third-line erlotinib. Fourth-line anlotinib was administered thereafter.
The pulmonary lesions showed partial remission 5 months after anlotinib monotherapy. The patient demonstrated a progression-free survival of more than 7 months and an overall survival of >12 months. The adverse events including hypertension and fatigue were well-tolerated.
Salvage anlotinib might be a reasonable choice in EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma after failure of chemotherapy. Further well-designed trials are warranted to verify this occasional finding.
安罗替尼已被证明对晚期难治性非小细胞肺癌有效。
一名47岁不吸烟女性因持续胸闷1个月入院。
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)野生型晚期原发性肺腺癌,无脑或骨转移。
患者接受培美曲塞/多西他赛联合卡铂一线治疗及二线厄洛替尼治疗均失败,此后接受四线安罗替尼治疗。
安罗替尼单药治疗5个月后肺部病变部分缓解。患者无进展生存期超过7个月,总生存期>12个月。包括高血压和疲劳在内的不良事件耐受性良好。
在化疗失败的EGFR野生型肺腺癌中,挽救性使用安罗替尼可能是一个合理选择。有必要开展进一步设计良好的试验来验证这一偶然发现。
