Metastatic SQSTM1-NTRK1 fused non-small-cell lung cancer treated with larotrectinib and stereotactic radiosurgery resulting in durable complete response: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies and causes the most cancer deaths in the United States. Targeted therapies have improved the survival of patients with advanced disease. Neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions are a rare oncogenic driver that has been targeted with the tumor-agnostic drug, larotrectinib. There are limited data on the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with larotrectinib because of the rarity of this fusion in this population. We present the case of a patient who was diagnosed with SQSTM1-NTRK1 fused NSCLC with polymetastatic disease involving the brain and subsequently treated with a multidisciplinary approach via neurosurgical resection, radiotherapy, and larotrectinib. The combination of aggressive local treatments an
