Case Report: Fluzoparib for multiple lines of chemotherapy refractory in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with BRCA2 pathogenic mutation.


ABSTRACT: Background: Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) are widely used for patients with BRCA1/2 mutations. However, until now, there is no available evidence reported for the efficiency of PARPis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Case presentation: We presented a case of a 40-year-old man diagnosed with metastatic cSCC, relapsing after multiple lines of chemotherapy. Liquid biopsy detected a BRCA2 pathogenic germline mutation (c.3109C > T), indicating PARPis might be effective for this patient. The patient achieved tumor stability, and progression-free survival was five months without severe adverse effects after taking fluzoparib. Conclusion: This result confirmed that PARPis were effective for metastatic cSCC patients with germline BRCA2 pathogenic mutations and provided a new treatment option for this group of patients.
