There is no established treatment for lung adenocarcinoma with uncommon/compound epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. We report a case of a 73-year-old man with stage IVB lung adenocarcinoma harboring E709G and L861Q EGFR mutations. After 2 months of afatinib treatment, significant tumor shrinkage was observed, and the patient's condition remained stable for 1 year. This case highlights the potential effectiveness of afatinib for treating rare stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with these specific EGFR mutations.
对于具有罕见/复合表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变的肺腺癌,目前尚无既定的治疗方法。我们报告了一例73岁男性IVB期肺腺癌患者,其携带E709G和L861Q EGFR突变。接受阿法替尼治疗2个月后,观察到肿瘤显著缩小,患者病情稳定了1年。该病例突出了阿法替尼治疗具有这些特定EGFR突变的罕见IV期肺腺癌的潜在有效性。
