Abstract

小细胞肺癌(small cell lung cancer, SCLC)是肺癌中恶性程度和死亡率最高的类型。目前的一线标准治疗方式仍是以依托泊苷和铂类为主的化疗方案。然而,对于一线治疗后进展的SCLC,治疗方式仍非常有限。由于目前对SCLC一线耐药的分子机制尚未明了,而且一线耐药后的精准医疗策略仍处于临床前期阶段,因而在SCLC一线治疗进展后,进行二次活检及基因检测的比例很低。本文通过报道1例初次诊断为SCLC的中年女性,病程中多次活检发现肿瘤组织病理学类型出现具有敏感基因突变的腺癌以及小细胞癌的反复转变,提示其可能为SCLC中的特殊亚型——混合型小细胞肺癌(mixed small cell lung cancer, M-SCLC)。本例患者在治疗过程中先后使用了放化疗、免疫治疗及靶向治疗,目前生存时间已达2年8个月。本文通过病例报道及回顾性文献复习,旨在探讨对一部分可能一开始就呈现混合型病理组织类型或在治疗后出现组织类型改变的SCLC,疾病进展时有必要再次活检明确病理组织学类型及基因学检测,寻找潜在治疗靶点,以便给予基于分子标志物检测结果的精准治疗,为患者提供尽可能长的生存获益。

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most malignant lung cancer with the highest mortality. At present, the first-line standard treatment is still based on Etoposide and Platinum chemotherapy. However, for SCLC that progresses after first-line therapy, the treatment options are still very limited. Since the molecular mechanism of first-line drug resistance of SCLC is still unclear, and the precision medicine strategy after first-line drug resistance is still in the pre-clinical stage. The proportion of secondary biopsy and genetic testing is very low after the progress of first-line treatment of SCLC. In this study, we report a case of a middle-aged woman who was first diagnosed with SCLC. Adenocarcinoma with sensitive gene mutations and repeated changes of small cell carcinoma were detected by multiple biopsies during the course of the disease, suggesting that the patient may be a special subtype of SCLC - mixed SCLC (M-SCLC). In this case, the patient has been treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy successively, and the survival time has reached 2 years and 8 months. Through the case report and literature review retrospectively, this study aimed to explore the part patients may start to present hybrid histopathologic types or tissue type change after treatment of SCLC. Biopsy pathologic histology and genetic testing is necessary after disease progression to look for potential therapeutic targets, so as to give precise treatment based on molecular markers detection results and provide the patient with the benefit of survival for as long as possible.
