Consolidation therapy with durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy has been standard treatment for patients with stage III, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there have been few reports about its efficacy for patients with driver mutations. Notably, it remains unclear whether durvalumab is effective for patients with locally advanced NSCLC harboring HER2 mutation.
A 65-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on her chest roentgenogram. We made a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma (cT2aN3M0, Stage IIIB) and treated the patient with definitive chemoradiotherapy followed by durvalumab for one year. After 15 months, she developed disease recurrence. After the sixth-line treatment, she died 3 years and 3 months after the start of durvalumab treatment.
