Sub-title

Chest CT scan on the 06/26/15: Focal lesions of the upper lobe of the left lung. Enlarged intrathoracic lymphatic nodes. Left-sided hydrothorax. Hydropericardium. The lymph nodes of the neck in the lower third are anechoic to 24x12 mm on the right, 14x10 mm on the left, and not in the upper and middle third. The EGFR mutation analysis of cytological blocks and blood plasma: L858R mutation was detected. Diagnosis: Cancer pulmonis sinistrae T4NxM1. PS: ECOG - 2.

Treatment strategy?

• Chemotherapy
• Target therapy with 1st

generation TKIs

• Perform further

examination

• Best supportive care

Abbreviations: TKI – tyrosine kinase inhibitor

It was decided to start target therapy with gefitinib. After 1 month of therapy EGFRm test in plasma (04.2015): both L858R and T790M

• negative.

3 month on therapy. Chest CT scan (08.2015): Partial response by RECIST criteria (50% reduction). The duration of gefitinib treatment - 12 months. 08.2016 - plasma EGFRm test: L858R positive, T790M – negative. 08.2016 CT scan of the chest, abdominal organs, lymph nodes: stable disease.

Abbreviations: EGFR – epidermal growth factor receptor

Treatment strategy?

• Chemotherapy
• Continue target therapy
• Perform further examination

(brain MRI)

Brain MRI: multiple (more than 10) scattered moderately vascular soft tissue lesions the largest: in the right frontal lobe 5x4 mm, in the left frontal lobe 6x5 mm, in the left cerebral peduncle 8x6 mm.

Treatment strategy?

• Chemotherapy
• Continue target therapy
• Radiotherapy
• Radiotherapy

+ target therapy

• Best supportive care

Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) was conducted (30 Gy); target therapy continued (gefitinib).

SUBTYPING PROGRESSIVE DISEASE

Local therapy + continue TKI New TKI’s Chemotherapy + continue TKI Combinations of targeted drugs Continue TKI’s

Abbreviations: CNS = central nervous system; PD = progressive disease, TKI – tyrosine kinase inhibitor

MRI and CT of the brain, November 2016: stable disease. Plasma test for EGFR mutation: both L858R and T790M - negative. CT, February 2017: disease progression - growth of previously described lesions and the appearance of pleurisy. MRI of the brain: stable disease. The duration of target therapy is 18 months.

Treatment strategy?

• Target therapy
• Chemotherapy

From March to October 2017: 6 courses of chemotherapy (EP) were conducted.

• Stable disease was achieved after 2 courses
• Stable disease after 6 courses.

Stable disease 10.2017 until 01.2019.

CT scan of the chest and neck, January 2019: stable disease. MRI of the brain: disease progression (the emergence

• f new foci).

Plasma test for EGFR mutation, August 2018: L858R and T790M positive.

Treatment strategy?

• Target therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Radiotherapy

02.2019 – therapy with 3rd generation TKI was started.

Reference

FINDINGS

• The objective response to gefitinib therapy correlated with

the disappearance of EGFR activating mutations in the blood plasma and may serve as a marker of the effectiveness of TKI therapy in advanced NSCLC.

• The reappearance in plasma of EGFR activating mutations

and/or T790M may be one of the predictors of disease progression.
