AI Article Synopsis

  • A 70-year-old woman with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) initially responded to erlotinib, but after progression, she was treated with platinum/pemetrexed and had a favorable outcome for over two years.
  • After further testing of her cancer revealed new mutations alongside an existing one, she transitioned to crizotinib, achieving a 17-month response before it was combined with afatinib, leading to another two-year improvement.
  • This case highlights the importance of ongoing molecular testing in metastatic NSCLC, as it can uncover new mutations that enable more effective treatment options and enhance patient survival.

Article Abstract

We present the case of a 70-year-old never-smoking female patient with () p.L858R-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). After three months of first-line treatment with erlotinib, progression occurred and platinum/pemetrexed was initiated, followed by a response for more than two years. After the progression, the molecular testing of a vertebral metastasis revealed a () translocation and a (2) p.S310F mutation, in addition to the known p.L858R mutation. Crizotinib then led to a durable response of 17 months. The molecular retesting of the tumour cells obtained from the recurrent pleural effusion revealed the absence of the translocation, whereas the and mutations were still present. Afatinib was added to the crizotinib, and the combination treatment resulted in another durable response of more than two years. The patient died more than 7 years after the initial diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC. This case demonstrates that the repeated molecular testing of metastatic NSCLC may identify new druggable genomic alterations that can impact the patient management and improve the patient outcome.
