A Case of EGFR-mutant Squamous Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Necitumumab Combination Therapy.
Background/aim: There is insufficient evidence regarding the optimal treatment for squamous cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, and a standard treatment strategy has not been established.
Case report: A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with advanced EGFR-mutant squamous cell lung cancer. She was treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and then received the combined therapy of cytotoxic agents plus immune checkpoint inhibitors as third-line therapy. She was then treated with the fourth-line combination therapy of cisplatin, gemcitabine, and necitumumab, which resulted in a progression-free survival of 5.0 months and shrinkage of the liver metastatic lesion.
Conclusion: The combination therapy of cisplatin, gemcitabine, and necitumumab was effective in treating pretreated EGFR-mutant squamous cell lung cancer in this case. It is necessary to accumulate more evidence to determine the most effective treatment for advanced EGFR-mutant squamous cell lung cancer.
