FGFR2-ERC1: A Subtype of FGFR2 Oncogenic Fusion Variant in Lung Adenocarcinoma and the Response to Anlotinib
BACKGROUND: Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) fusions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are small genomic events. At present, there is no standard treatment strategy for patients with NSCLC carrying an FGFR fusion. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient who...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) fusions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are small genomic events. At present, there is no standard treatment strategy for patients with NSCLC carrying an FGFR fusion. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and underwent right upper lobectomy and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. After 13 months, the patient’s lung lesions progressed. Next-generation sequencing of venous blood and lung tissues confirmed an FGFR2-ERC1 fusion, and she received chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Two months later, the patient’s lung lesions progressed again. Based on the target effect of anlotinib on FGFR, the patient was subsequently treated with anlotinib, and the progression-free survival interval exceeded 8.0 months. CONCLUSION: These findings showed that patients with lung adenocarcinoma carrying an FGFR2-ERC1 fusion gene may benefit from anlotinib. This case provided evidence to support the use of anlotinib in the treatment of NSCLC patients with FGFR fusion gene subtypes. |
