Long survival after neoadjuvant and adjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy and surgery in a patient with hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung: A case report

Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2024 Dec 31;20(1):2342133. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2024.2342133. Epub 2024 Apr 24.

Abstract

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung (HAL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of lung cancer. The prognosis for patients with HAL is generally poor and currently, there are only limited treatment options. Here, we present a case of a 47-year-old male diagnosed with locally advanced-stage HAL who achieved a remarkably long disease-free survival after receiving neoadjuvant and adjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy and surgery. This case highlights the potential of immunochemotherapy plus surgery in improving outcomes for patients with HAL.

Keywords: Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung; camrelizumab; immunotherapeutics; surgery; survival.
