Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. There are two classes of lung cancer: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC represents approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIPs) are a class of inhibitors of programmed death-1 and programmed death-ligand 1. Preclinical studies have shown that ICIPs have shown good clinical efficacy and durable response in diverse cancers. Among them, atezolizumab (MPDL3280), an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, is being investigated as a potential therapy against solid tumors and hematologic malignancies in humans. Pseudoprogression is reported as one of the unique phenomena with immune therapeutic agents. Here we report case of a person with advanced NSCLC who developed pseudoprogression after receiving immunotherapy. We hope this case could help clinicians to make appropriate decision when assessing therapeutic effects of immunotherapy. .Entities:

2CT变化:基线水平(使用atezolizumab 2周前);假性进展(治疗6周后);肿瘤缩小(治疗12周后)。A-C:2018年8月3日胸部CT显示右肺上叶肿块(白色箭头)较基线水平明显增大。2018年9月13日,该肿块较前迅速缩小。治疗开始后左腋窝淋巴结持续缩小(红色箭头);D-F:主动脉弓旁纵隔淋巴结(白色箭头)在治疗第6周时增大,第12周时明显减少。其余纵隔淋巴结体积在治疗后第6周显著减小(红色箭头);G-I:前腹壁肿块(白色箭头)治疗第6周时出现,随后迅速增大,第12周时明显缩小;a-f:病人自行拍摄,前腹壁肿块肉眼外观变化,2018年7月30日该肿块最大;J-L:右肾上腺肿块第6周时明显缩小;第12周较第6周进一步缩小;M-O:第6周时脑转移肿块的数量及体积均减少,第12周较第6周变化不大
CT scans showing tumour response at baseline (2 weeks before initiation of atezolizumab), pseudoprogression (immediately after 6 weeks of treatment), and after tumour shrinkage (after 12 weeks of treatment). A-C: Chest CT images show the right superior lobe mass (white arrow) significantly increased in size on August 3, 2018 compared with the baseline. On September 13, 2018, the lesion shrunk significantly. Left axillary lymph nodes decreased in size since therapy (red arrow). D-F: The mediastinal lymph nodes (white arrow) near the aortic arch grew larger at week 6 and subsequently decreased definitely at week 12. Others significantly decreased their size at week 6 (red arrow). G-I: An anterior abdominal wall mass (white arrow) was detected at week 6, which was larger and subsequently smaller at week 12. a-f: The size change of the anterior abdominal wall mass, photographed by the patient himself. The anterior abdominal wall masssignificantly increased in size on July 30, 2018. J-L: Right adrenal mass shrunk significantly at week 6. M-O: The amount and volume of brain metastasis were both reduced at week 6 and week 8
