Triple-positive non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation, ALK rearrangement, and high PD-L1 expression: a case report and literature review

This case illustrates that in triple-positive NSCLC, initial EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy can achieve long-term control, while dynamic molecular profiling at progression is essential for identifying resistance mechanisms. Sequential targeted therapy guided by NGS remains a cornerstone for precision management in this complex molecular subtype.

Abstract

This case illustrates that in triple-positive NSCLC, initial EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy can achieve long-term control, while dynamic molecular profiling at progression is essential for identifying resistance mechanisms. Sequential targeted therapy guided by NGS remains a cornerstone for precision management in this complex molecular subtype.
