ABSTRACT
Backgroud Human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification is an important mechanism of acquired resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. For patients with both EGFR mutation and HER2 amplification, there is currently no unified standard treatment, and further exploration is needed on how to choose the therapy. Methods and results:
A female NSCLC patient developed bone and brain metastases 14 and 42 months after radical surgery, respectively. The second genetic sequencing detected EGFR L858R mutation and HER2 amplification, and therefore initiated treatment with almonertinib and pyrotinib. The patient achieved partial remission and did not show any further progression during the follow-up period.Conclusion:
For NSCLC patients with both EGFR mutation and HER2 amplification, the combination of almonertinib and pyrotinib is a valuable therapy that can continuously reduce tumor burden and achieve long-term survival.
