[Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma:report of three cases].
Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare disease with strong aggressiveness, low response rates to treatment, short survival span and poor prognosis, belonging to a group of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) that remains incompletely understood. Here, we presented three PSC cases with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) L858R, BRAF V600E and ALK mutations respectively, described their clinical characteristics and conducted a review of literature, in order to improve its therapeutic level, which also provided evidence-based medical evidence for driver gene screening and molecular targeted drug application in PSC patients.
