Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for less than 15% of the cases of lung cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are rarely reported in association with SCLC. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are approved as the first-line therapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical effect of EGFR mutations and its response to osimertinib are unknown in SCLC. We report a case of EGFR-positive metastatic SCLC in a 63-year-old female who was treated with the third-generation TKI, osimertinib.
小细胞肺癌(SCLC)占肺癌病例的比例不到15%。表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变与SCLC相关的报道很少。EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)被批准作为转移性非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的一线治疗药物。在SCLC中,EGFR突变的临床效果及其对奥希替尼的反应尚不清楚。我们报告一例63岁女性EGFR阳性转移性SCLC患者,该患者接受了第三代TKI奥希替尼治疗。
