Abstract Text In advanced stages, large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung (L-LCNEC) mimics small-cell lung cancer despite its traditional classification as a non-small-cell lung cancer. Here we present a focused analysis of BRAF mutations in this population.Comprehensive genomic profiling of tumor tissues was performed from a cohort of 300 patients with biopsy-proven L-LCNEC. Specimens were either from a primary lung lesion or metastatic site.In 13 patients, 14 unique BRAF alterations (amplifications, mutations) were identified. The importance of biomarker-driven therapy is subsequently highlighted with our case of a 69-year-old man diagnosed with metastatic L-LCNEC who did not respond to cisplatin plus etoposide. A significant durable response was then demonstrated with therapy targeted toward a BRAF non-V600E activating mutation (G469R) associated with biomarker response identified through circulating cell-free tumor DNA analysis. A change in clonal allele frequency from nearly 40% to nondetectable was observed.Although uncommon, L-LCNEC does seem to contain activating and therefore actionable alterations. We thus highlight the value of pursuing next-generation sequencing for patients with this disease.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
