Abstract
Tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) can benefit from treatment with poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). However, the methods for identifying HRD vary and are controversial. Several DNA repair genes in the homologous recombination repair pathway may be linked to PARPi susceptibility, and studies are underway to identify biomarkers that can predict the response to PARPi. We present a case of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistant metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with a germline PALB2 mutation that was treated with fluzoparib (an orally administered PARPi). The treatment achieved surprising results and lasted for more than 4.5 months. Our study provided evidence that metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with germline PALB2 could benefit from PARPi, which improves patient outcomes.
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.
