Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) significantly improve the survival of patients with Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitive mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
A 67-year-old female patient in advanced lung adenocarcinoma suffered from drug resistance after EGFR-TKIs treatment. Secondary pathological tissue biopsy confirmed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) transformation. Patients inevitably encountered drug resistance issues after receiving EGFR-TKIs treatment for a certain period of time, while EGFR-TKIs can significantly improve the survival of patients with EGFR-sensitive mutations in NSCLC. Notably, EGFR-TKIs resistance includes primary and acquired. Pathological transformation is one of the mechanisms of acquired resistance in EGFR-TKIs, with SCC transformation being relatively rare. Our results provide more detailed results of the patient's diagnosis and treatment process on SCC transformation after EGFR-TKIs treatment for lung adenocarcinoma.

表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)显著提高了非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)敏感突变患者的生存率。
一名67岁晚期肺腺癌女性患者在接受EGFR-TKIs治疗后出现耐药。二次病理组织活检证实为鳞状细胞癌(SCC)转化。患者在接受EGFR-TKIs治疗一段时间后不可避免地会遇到耐药问题,而EGFR-TKIs可显著提高NSCLC中EGFR敏感突变患者的生存率。值得注意的是,EGFR-TKIs耐药包括原发性和获得性。病理转化是EGFR-TKIs获得性耐药的机制之一,其中SCC转化相对少见。我们的结果提供了该患者肺腺癌EGFR-TKIs治疗后SCC转化的更详细诊断和治疗过程结果。
