Description
A 27-year-old female was referred to our hospital for further examination of hoarseness, cough, and hemoptysis. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed FDG accumulation in a huge mass in the left lower lobe, lymph nodes in the hilum, mediastinum and right cervical lesion left scapula and vertebral body. Further examination yielded the diagnosis of primary lung adenocarcinoma (cT2aN3M1b : Stage IV) harboring the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion oncogene. Although her general condition was getting worse due to rapid increase of the pleural effusion, crizotinib promptly diminish the pleural effusion and ameliorated the patient’s condition. The adverse events of crizotinib, such as nausea, vomiting and visual disturbance, were generally mild and well tolerable during treatment. These findings suggest that crizotinib is a promising candidate for ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer patients even with poor performances.
