Abstract
Introduction: Several biomarkers are currently available to address targeted treatments in cancer patients, with lung malignancies representing one of the best examples.
Case description: We report the case of a patient affected by advanced non-small cell lung cancer with an uncommon histology and a complex biology. The use of a large next-generation sequencing (NGS) NGS panel allowed us to identify an extremely rare BRAF mutation (V600Q), a MET amplification, a high tumor mutational burden, a germline pathogenetic BRCA1 mutation and a homologous recombination deficiency through RAD51 assay. The treatment decision was driven by the abundance of molecular information.
Conclusions: This case highlights that an attentive and critical evaluation of molecular reports is key for the tailoring of treatment algorithms at the patient-level scale.
期刊介绍：
Tumori Journal covers all aspects of cancer science and clinical practice with a strong focus on prevention, translational medicine and clinically relevant reports. We invite the publication of randomized trials and reports on large, consecutive patient series that investigate the real impact of new techniques, drugs and devices inday-to-day clinical practice.
