Abstract
SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcomatoid tumor is a rare malignancy indicating some characteristics of a smoking-related disease. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of aggressive thoracic tumor with loss of immunochemical SMARCA4 expression and detail the results of our treatment regimen. The patient was a 58-year-old male and clinicopathologically diagnosed with a SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcomatoid tumor. Pembrolizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed resulted in significant response. This combination therapy showed potential for first-line systemic treatment of SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcomatoid tumors. © The Japan Society of Clinical Oncology 2021.Entities:
