Pulmonary Blastoma is Successfully Treated with Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
We summarized and analyzed the literature reports on Pubmed from 2000 to the present, using the keywords 'pulmonary blastoma', and found 78 different cases of PB, using chemotherapy including cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, and others...With consultation of the multidisciplinary team and full communication and informed consent from the patient, she later had 8 cycles of anlotinib(a new oral multikinase inhibitor) and penpulimab(a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody) in the department of oncology... To our knowledge, this is the first study to combine immunotherapy and targeted therapy for PB. This study shows the combination of immunotherapy and multi-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors can produce a more significant clinical response in pulmonary blastoma, or maybe a synergistic effect. As a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary blastoma, immunotherapy in combination with targeted therapy should be considered.
