靶向治疗和免疫治疗在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的治疗中都很重要。准确的诊断和精确的治疗是实现患者长期生存的关键。MET融合是一种罕见的致癌因子,其最佳检测和治疗尚未建立。这里,我们报道了1例32岁女性肺腺癌患者,通过基于DNA的下一代测序(NGS)检测到PD-L1阳性和驱动基因阴性.化疗联合PD-1检查点抑制剂给药后根治性切除原发灶,根据她的病理反应和快速复发,表明原发性免疫抵抗。通过基于RNA的NGS检测到一种罕见的CD47-MET,荧光原位杂交证实了这一点。多重免疫荧光显示PD-L1相关的异质性免疫抑制微环境,几乎没有CD4T细胞和CD8T细胞分布。Savolitinib治疗导致无进展生存期(PFS)>12个月,直到疾病进展后通过重新活检和基于DNA-RNA的联合NGS在METp.D1228H中检测到新的继发性耐药突变.在这种情况下,CD47-MET融合非小细胞肺癌主要对免疫疗法耐药,对savolitinib敏感,靶向治疗后出现继发性METp.D1228H突变。基于DNA-RNA的NGS可用于检测此类分子事件和跟踪耐药性中的次级突变。为此,基于DNA-RNA的NGS可能在指导该患者人群的精确诊断和个体化治疗方面具有更好的价值。
Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are both important in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Accurate diagnose and precise treatment are key in achieving long survival of patients. MET fusion is a rare oncogenic factor, whose optimal detection and treatment are not well established. Here, we report on a 32-year-old female lung adenocarcinoma patient with positive PD-L1 and negative driver gene detected by DNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS). A radical resection of the primary lesion after chemotherapy combined with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor administration indicated primary immuno-resistance according to her pathological response and rapid relapse. A rare CD47-MET was detected by RNA-based NGS, which was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Multiplex immunofluorescence revealed a PD-L1 related heterogeneous immunosuppressive microenvironment with little distribution of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. Savolitinib therapy resulted in a progression-free survival (PFS) of >12 months, until a new secondary resistance mutation in MET p.D1228H was detected by re-biopsy and joint DNA-RNA-based NGS after disease progression. In this case, CD47-MET fusion NSCLC was primarily resistant to immunotherapy, sensitive to savolitinib, and developed secondary MET p.D1228H mutation after targeted treatment. DNA-RNA-based NGS is useful in the detection of such molecular events and tracking of secondary mutations in drug resistance. To this end, DNA-RNA-based NGS may be of better value in guiding precise diagnosis and individualized treatment in this patient population.
