High quality of 58-month life in lung cancer patient with brain metastases sequentially treated with gefitinib and osimertinib
Abstract: Brain metastases (BMs) and bone metastases seriously affect the prognosis of lung cancer patients. How to optimize the use of existing targeted drugs is an important way to address the clinical needs of the central nervous system in the individualized treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this report, we describe an NSCLC patient with BMs who survived for 58 months, which is the longest survival case among lung cancer patients with BMs. The patient was initially diagnosed with lung cancer more than 5 years ago with simultaneous brain, bone, and lung metastases. After gefitinib resistance, she received osimertinib in sequence with no progress for 58 months in total and maintained very good quality of life.
