We present the case of a 70-year-old never-smoking female patient with () p.L858R-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). After three months of first-line treatment with erlotinib, progression occurred and platinum/pemetrexed was initiated, followed by a response for more than two years. After the progression, the molecular testing of a vertebral metastasis revealed a () translocation and a (2) p.S310F mutation, in addition to the known p.L858R mutation. Crizotinib then led to a durable response of 17 months. The molecular retesting of the tumour cells obtained from the recurrent pleural effusion revealed the absence of the translocation, whereas the and mutations were still present. Afatinib was added to the crizotinib, and the combination treatment resulted in another durable response of more than two years. The patient died more than 7 years after the initial diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC. This case demonstrates that the repeated molecular testing of metastatic NSCLC may identify new druggable genomic alterations that can impact the patient management and improve the patient outcome.
我们报告了一例 70 岁从不吸烟的女性转移性非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者,其存在 () p.L858R 突变。一线使用厄洛替尼治疗三个月后出现进展,随后开始使用铂类/培美曲塞治疗,疗效持续超过两年。疾病进展后,对脊柱转移灶进行的分子检测显示存在 () 易位和 (2) p.S310F 突变,此外还存在已知的 p.L858R 突变。克唑替尼治疗后患者获得了长达 17 个月的持久缓解。对复发性胸腔积液中肿瘤细胞进行的分子重新检测显示, 易位缺失,但 和 突变仍然存在。在克唑替尼的基础上加用阿法替尼,联合治疗后患者又获得了超过两年的持久缓解。该患者在诊断为转移性 NSCLC 后超过 7 年死亡。该病例表明,对转移性 NSCLC 的重复分子检测可能会发现新的可用药基因组改变,从而影响患者的管理并改善患者的预后。
