SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor (SMARCA4-dUT) is a devastating subtype of thoracic tumor with SMARCA4 inactivation and is characterized by rapid progression, poor prognosis, and high risk of postoperative recurrence. However, effective treatments for SMARCA4-dUT are lacking. Herein, we describe a patient with SMARCA4-dUT who exhibited an impressive response to the anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody (tislelizumab) in combination with conventional chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of SMARCA4-dUT treated with chemotherapy, comprising etoposide and cisplatin, combined with anti-PD-1 inhibitors. Immunotherapy combined with etoposide and cisplatin may be a promising strategy to treat SMARCA4-dUT.
SMARCA4 缺陷未分化肿瘤(SMARCA4-dUT)是一种具有 SMARCA4 失活的毁灭性胸部长瘤亚型,其特征为快速进展、预后不良和高术后复发风险。然而,针对 SMARCA4-dUT 的有效治疗方法仍缺乏。在此,我们描述了一例 SMARCA4-dUT 患者,其对程序性细胞死亡蛋白 1(PD-1)抗体(替雷利珠单抗)联合常规化疗(依托泊苷和顺铂)表现出显著反应。据我们所知,这是首例采用化疗(包含依托泊苷和顺铂)联合抗 PD-1 抑制剂治疗的 SMARCA4-dUT 病例。免疫疗法联合依托泊苷和顺铂可能是治疗 SMARCA4-dUT 的一种有前途的策略。
