Choroidal Metastasis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Responded to Gefitinib

Abstract: A 52-year-old Japanese woman presented with optical symptoms, including left-sided myodesopsia, blurred vision, narrowed visual field, and diminished visual acuity. Ocular evaluation revealed a metastatic tumor in the choroid. Further examinations identified pulmonary adenocarcinoma as the primary tumor. Because an epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) mutation was detected in a biopsy specimen, gefitinib treatment was initiated. Dramatic responses were obtained in the primary tumor and metastatic foci.… Show more

“…There have been few reports documenting the response of choroidal metastases to erlotinib (table 1) [5,7,8,13,14,15,16,17]. However, of the cases reported in the literature, only in three reports were the patients actually screened for genetic anomalies related to EGFR [7,15,17].…”

“…По данным литературы, на момент выявления хориоидального метастаза только 30-44% пациен-тов имеют установленный первичный очаг опухоли [14], а у 11-34% больных отсутствует онкологиче-ский анамнез, что наиболее характерно для рака легкого [2,3,10,15].…”

“…Чаще всего в хориоидею метастазируют рак мо-лочной железы (до 75%) и рак легкого (2-7% -39,4%), на опухоли желудочно-кишечного тракта приходится до 4% случаев [2,4,5,8,10,13,14].…”
