In the years preceding, the patient did not respond well to first-third line agent therapies. However, a partial remission (PR) of the tumor was found after 3-courses of ripretinib treatment. For GIST patients with drug-resistant mutations (both primary and secondary), treatment may be a more accurate and reasonable when mutation-inhibitor agents are prescribed at an early stage.The patient was a middle-aged male smoker who had space-occupying lesions in the right upper lung, Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) suggested right upper lung cancer with multiple mediastinal lymph node metastases. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (EBUS-GS-TBLB) performed in the bronchus of the right apical segment confirmed the lesion as squamous cell carcinoma. Neoadjuvant therapy was planned. Because genetic testing revealed the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) L858R mutation, the possibility of adenosquamous carcinoma was considered. The patient was clinically diagnosed with right upper lung squamous cell carcinoma c-T3N2M0, stage IIIB, and PS 1 point. Dacomitinib was selected for the targeted therapy. Eight weeks after the initiation of treatment, efficacy was assessed as a partial response (PR), suggesting a possibility of R0 resection. After sufficient communication with the patient and his family members, on July 1, 2020, thoracoscopic radical resection of the right upper lung cancer was performed under general anesthesia. Postoperative pathology confirmed adenosquamous carcinoma, of which 80% were adenocarcinoma and 20% were squamous cell carcinoma; no tumor thrombus was seen in the interstitial vessels; and the tumor did not invade the visceral pleura. There was no cancerous infiltration in the bronchial stump of the right upper lung. The following were the results for lymph nodes submitted for examination L2 (0/1), L4 (0/4), L7 (0/3), L8 (0/7), L10 (0/1), L11 (0/2) and L11 (frozen 0/1) showed no cancer metastasis. The postoperative diagnosis was as follows adenosquamous carcinoma of the right upper lung p-T2N0M0, stage Ib. After surgery, 4 cycles of the GC (gemcitabine + carboplatin) chemotherapy regimen were given, with continued targeted therapy recommended for 2 years. The patient has been followed-up and is in good condition.Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become an important milestone in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). High expression of protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) and tumor mutation burden (TMB) can help to select the dominant population for immunotherapy, but the expression of PD-L1 does not seem to be unchanged. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/GDC-0449.html A 61-year-old man with adenocarcinoma of the lung experienced postoperative recurrence. PD-L1 expression was negative before recurrence, and TMB was stable by next-generation sequencing (NGS) test. However, after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, PD-L1 positive expression was found in a re-biopsy specimen, and NGS detection indicated the loss of immune negative predictive genes. The patient achieved a durable response to a posterior-line immunotherapy combined chemotherapy. The tumor microenvironment maybe changed after chemoradiotherapy, which provides an opportunity for patients to benefit from immunotherapy. The use of NGS in dynamic detection and PD-L1 expression may help monitor this change in the tumor microenvironment, the transition from cold to hot tumor. This case maybe provides new clinical evidence that a non-immuno-dominant population in the initial state can be converted to a population with the benefit of immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy. However, patients who are initially unsuitable for immunotherapy may still need to undergo combined immunotherapy to achieve a clinical benefit.Primary malignant melanoma of the gastrointestinal mucosa is a rare tumor. Here, we report a case of a 60-year-old female patient with esophageal malignant melanoma. Combined with the related literature, the clinical manifestations, imaging, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of primary esophageal malignant melanoma were observed and analyzed. Imaging examination with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) revealed multiple metastases in the patient's skull, bilateral acetabular, and bilateral cervical lymph nodes, but no radioactive uptake in the primary lesion. Endoscopy showed an area of abnormal pigmentation measuring approximately 0.8 cm in diameter in the lower esophageal mucosa, which was confirmed by pathological biopsy as primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus. The tumor cells are large, round, and diffused in sheets and nests, with visible nucleoli, thick chromatin granules, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm; melanin granules can be seen in the cytoplasm. The immune phenotype was as follows tumor cells had diffuse expression of HMB45, Melan A, and S100. Diagnosing esophageal malignant melanoma using 18FDG-PET/CT imaging presents some difficulties, and new radio-targeted tracers need to be further developed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of this method. The combination of a morphological examination, pathological examination, and immunohistochemistry is helpful for diagnosing primary esophageal malignant melanoma.A 26-year-old female was admitted to the emergency department of thoracic surgery complaining of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a history of bilateral tuberculosis. A chest Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed bilateral pleural effusion. After that, the patient was implanted with bilateral intercostal drainage tubes. Further analysis of the pleural effusion was conducted to confirm the diagnosis of bilateral chylothorax. We initiated conservative treatment consisting of fasting and total parenteral nutrition. After the failure of conservative treatment, the patient underwent ligation of the thoracic duct by right-sided thoracotomy combined with talc slurry. On the first day postoperatively, the right pleural effusion had decreased significantly, while the left pleural effusion had not. Subsequently, talc slurry was injected into the left thoracic drainage tube of the patient. Bilateral pleural effusion was significantly reduced. Re-examination chest X-ray showed the disappearance of pleural effusion, and the patient was discharged good healthy.
