Synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (SMPLC) should be distinguished from intrapulmonary metastasis to define the optimal treatment approach. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are typically mutually exclusive and the co-existence of both mutations is relatively rare. Herein, we report a case of SMPLC harboring each EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement successfully treated with combination of osimertinib and alectinib. A combination of EGFR- and ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors could be an effective and tolerable therapeutic option for SMPLC with EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangement.
同步性多原发性肺癌(SMPLC)应与肺内转移相区分,以确定最佳治疗方法。表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变和间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)重排通常相互排斥,两种突变同时存在相对罕见。在此,我们报告1例SMPLC患者,其同时存在EGFR突变和ALK重排,经奥希替尼和阿来替尼联合治疗成功治愈。对于伴有EGFR突变和ALK重排的SMPLC,EGFR和ALK酪氨酸激酶抑制剂联合使用可能是一种有效且耐受性良好的治疗选择。
