Abstract
•
Understanding nonbacterial endocarditis: the clinical suspicion of nonbacterial endocarditis (NBTE) should be raised in the presence of arterial embolic events in patients with highly thrombogenic tumors such as lung adenocarcinoma, the main cause of NBTE.
•
Association with ROS-1 rearrangements: patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying driver mutations have an elevated risk of thromboembolic events compared to those without them. These events can even serve as a sentinel sign of a possible relapse with a low disease burden.
•
Diagnostic approach: in case of clinical suspicion of NBTE, transthoracic echocardiography has a significant rate of false negatives, so a transesophageal echocardiogram is usually necessary.
•
Therapeutic approach and integration of targeted therapies: There are various scenarios in which cardiac surgery is indicated for endocarditis (such as neurological ischemic events or heart failure caused by valve failure). Regarding NBTE, the evidence in this regard is less solid, and the most relevant treatment is that of the underlying tumor. The use of targeted therapies against driver mutations in NSCLC offers a high rate of response, deep and rapid, which can also help achieve rapid control of complications derived from it that avoid performing invasive procedures with severe complications. This approach must always be discussed in a multidisciplinary board.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Lung Cancer is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of lung cancer. Clinical Lung Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of lung cancer. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to lung cancer. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
