Description
Case report of a 74-year old woman with EGFR- and ALK-negative lung adenocarcinoma. FISH identified a deletion of 5'RET (FISH, indicating RET-gene rearrangement) and genomic testing confirmed a fusion of KIF5B and RET, as well as an AKT2 gene amplification. The patient was enrolled in a clinical trial with vandetanib and everolimus (NCT01582191) with everolimus used to enhance brain accumulation of vandetanib. After two cycles of therapy a repeat MRI brain showed a decrease in the intracranial disease burden and PET/CT showed systemic response as well.
