B-Raf mutation positivity, B-Raf mutation positivity occurrence with programmed death ligand 1 overexpression, and musculoskeletal metastasis are singly rare in non-small cell lung cancer, and even rarer is all occurring in one patient.
A Filipino 63-year-old male had B-Raf mutation positive and programmed death ligand 1 overexpressed symptomatic metastatic musculoskeletal lesions from lung adenocarcinoma treated with a BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib, in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab. He exhibited significant reduction in pain and burden of musculoskeletal metastatic lesions.
Although a rare occurrence and known to have a poor prognosis, B-Raf mutation positive programmed death ligand 1 overexpressed lung adenocarcinoma presenting with metastatic musculoskeletal lesions can respond favorably to a combination immune checkpoint inhibitor and BRAF inhibitor medication.
BRAF 基因突变阳性、BRAF 基因突变阳性伴程序性死亡配体 1 过表达、以及肌肉骨骼转移在非小细胞肺癌中均较为罕见,而单一患者中同时存在这三种情况则更为罕见。
一名 63 岁菲律宾男性患有 BRAF 基因突变阳性且程序性死亡配体 1 过表达的症状性转移性肌肉骨骼肺腺癌,接受 BRAF 抑制剂维莫非尼联合免疫检查点抑制剂 pembrolizumab 治疗。他的肌肉骨骼转移性病变的疼痛和负担显著减轻。
尽管这种情况较为罕见且预后不良,但 BRAF 基因突变阳性、程序性死亡配体 1 过表达的肺腺癌伴发转移性肌肉骨骼病变可对联合免疫检查点抑制剂和 BRAF 抑制剂药物治疗产生良好反应。
