Background: Signaling pathways centered on the G-protein ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) and its downstream effector ArfGAP with the SH3 Domain, Ankyrin Repeat and PH Domain 1 (AMAP1) drive cancer invasion, metastasis, and therapy resistance. The Arf6-AMAP1 pathway has been reported to promote receptor recycling leading to programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) overexpression in pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Moreover, AMAP1 regulates of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), which is an important molecule in inflammation and immune activation, including tumor immune interaction through PD-L1 regulation.

A 52-year-old female patient with a history of atrial septal defect repair presented with progressive dyspnea and echocardiographic findings suggestive of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Incidentally, a lung mass was discovered on computed tomography (CT). Initial evaluation revealed World Health Organization functional class III symptoms and significant weight loss.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) effectively treat EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma, demonstrating initial efficacy but eventually leading to acquired resistance. Small cell transformation is a rare resistance mechanism to EGFR-TKIs in lung adenocarcinoma, which can complicate clinical diagnosis and treatment. We present a patient with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent a prior pneumonectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy and was treated with osimertinib after the recurrence of lung cancer.

Background: Osimertinib has emerged as a critical element in the treatment landscape following recent clinical trials. Further investigation into the mechanisms driving resistance to Osimertinib is necessary to address the restricted treatment options and survival advantages that are compromised by resistance in patients with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods: Spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were utilized to investigate the mechanisms of Osimertinib resistance.

Introduction: Osimertinib is the first-line treatment for patients with NSCLC who have EGFR mutations and favorable performance status (PS). Despite the increasing clinical data on osimertinib, evidence for its use in patients with impaired PS remains limited. Therefore, a multicenter phase II trial (OPEN/TORG2040) was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line osimertinib treatment in patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC and a poor PS.
