Abstract
This case report features a 62-year-old male with stage IB lung adenocarcinoma harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor exon 19 deletion, who underwent treatment with osimertinib following a left upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection. Despite a history of smoking and well-managed type 2 diabetes, the patient developed heart failure 18 months post-initiation of osimertinib therapy, marking one of the latest occurrences of heart failure following osimertinib treatment documented in limited literature. Cardiac MRI revealed significant left ventricular enlargement, lateral wall myocardial thinning, and localized myocardial fibrosis without perfusion defects, a finding not previously reported in literature. This case underscores the severe and unusual cardiac effects of osimertinib in patients with latent risk factors, highlighting the importance of vigilant cardiac monitoring and a multidisciplinary management approach.
期刊介绍：
Anti-Cancer Drugs reports both clinical and experimental results related to anti-cancer drugs, and welcomes contributions on anti-cancer drug design, drug delivery, pharmacology, hormonal and biological modalities and chemotherapy evaluation. An internationally refereed journal devoted to the fast publication of innovative investigations on therapeutic agents against cancer, Anti-Cancer Drugs aims to stimulate and report research on both toxic and non-toxic anti-cancer agents. Consequently, the scope on the journal will cover both conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and hormonal or biological response modalities such as interleukins and immunotherapy. Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
