Excerpt:
The patient, a 51-year-old woman...Diagnostic bronchoscopy revealed pulmonary adenocarcinoma with cT4N3M1c, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) was expressed in 75 % of the patient’s tumor specimen without any driver mutation. Therefore, only pembrolizumab was administered as the first-line treatment....The pulmonary adenocarcinoma cells showed immuno-expressions of PD-L1 and TTF-1. After one cycle of pembrolizumab, the symptoms improved, and chest radiography showed remarkable remission.
