Abstract
We present a Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Grade IV patient, diagnosed at 46 years of age, with multiple relapse from the diagnosis and demonstrating a poor prognosis after 3 cycles of treatments. A clinical comprehensive genomic profile was performed with the goal of finding potential actionable molecular alterations. The patient showed significant symptomatic and laboratory improvement with a combination chemotherapy determined by the molecular profiling, which would otherwise not have been considered. The mentioned approach was conducted since no other targeted therapies seemed actionable for him.
