Achieving complete metabolic response in stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with chemotherapy, nivolumab, ipilimumab, and salvage SBRT: A case report.

Oncogene-negative, PDL1-negative metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents significant treatment challenges due to its complexity and resistance to conventional therapies. The case report presented addresses a 55-year-old male patient with oncogene-negative, PDL1-negative stage IV lung adenocarcinoma, showcasing an exceptional complete metabolic response to a multimodality treatment combining double immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) and chemotherapy, followed by salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The patient underwent a treatment regimen incorporating two cycles of carboplatin, pemetrexed, nivolumab, and ipilimumab followed by nivolumab, and ipilimumab maintenance. After a partial response, SBRT was applied to persistent lesions, achieving a complete metabolic response. This case highlights the potential of combining dual ICI with chemotherapy and SBRT in treating oncogene-negative, PDL1-negative NSCLC underscoring the importance of multimodality treatment strategies.
