“…The regimen is well tolerated, with adverse effects and deaths primarily related to ATC and disease progression. 40 Case reports have been published of maintained responses to chemotherapy regimens such as cisplatin and doxorubicin associated with radiotherapy, peplomycin, and granulocyte colony stimulating growth factor 42 or with valproic acid, 43 docetaxel and gefitinib, 44 erlotinib in a patient with an important expression of epidermal growth factor receptor 45 and vemurafenib in patients with BRAF V600E mutation. 46 Also the case of a patient treated with everolimus was published and he maintained a response of the ATC during 18 months and whole-exome sequencing revealed a nonsense mutation in TSC2, a negative regulator of mTOR, suggesting a mechanism for sensitivity to everolimus.…”
