Metabolic Complete Response of Metastatic Oncogene-Negative, PDL1-Negative Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After Chemo-Immunotherapy and Radiotherapy: A Case Report

A 71-year-old male ex-smoker presented in October 2021 to our department with a brain and bone metastatic adenocarcinoma NSCLC. PDL1, ROS, EGFR, and ALK were negative. He underwent stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases. In November 2021, he started a chemotherapy (CHT) regimen with cisplatin (75 mg/m² every 21 days) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m² every 21 days), and ICI with Atezolizumab (1200 mg every 21 days). In July 2022, RT to the lung tumor and mediastinal nodal was performed with a total dose of 45 Gy in 15 fractions. He continued with immunotherapy until December 2022, when a grade 3-4 toxicity from immunotherapy was observed (hypothyroidism, psoriasis, and cystitis). He achieved a complete clinical response to the therapy. To date, the patient is alive, with a complete metabolic response, without treatment at 37 months from diagnosis.
