Title:

Case report: Two novel intergenic region-ALK fusions in non-small-cell lung cancer resistant to alectinib: A report of two cases

Published date:
07/22/2022
Excerpt:
We present two cases of patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring two novel Intergenic Region (IGR)-ALK rearrangements detected by DNA sequencing, which had limited clinical response to ALK-TKIs but showed sensitivity to chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab therapy in patient 2, with a PFS of over 1 year up till the last follow-up assessment.

Title:

Successful therapy with bevacizumab combined with corticosteroids for crizotinib-induced interstitial lung disease

Excerpt:
We present the case of an old woman with ALK-rearranged stage IV lung adenocarcinoma who received crizotinib....as a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor, bevacizumab was administered in low doses (200 mg on days one and three). Her symptoms began to improve. Our clinical experience indicates that bevacizumab combined with corticosteroids might be a promising treatment in crizotinib-induced ILD patients.
