Pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (pLELC) is a rare subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. While radiotherapy after induction chemotherapy have shown marked efficacy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), its effectiveness in pLELC remains uncertain. A female with stage IIIB pLELC was treated with 4 cycles of gemcitabine plus cisplatin, achieving partial response(PR), followed by radical radiotherapy. Patients achieved clinical complete response(CR) with recurrence-free for over five years. This case highlights the potential of induction chemotherapy as an effective treatment for locally advanced pLELC.
肺淋巴上皮瘤样癌(pLELC)是非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的一种罕见亚型,与爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)感染密切相关。虽然诱导化疗后放疗在鼻咽癌(NPC)中已显示出显著疗效,但其在pLELC中的有效性仍不确定。一名ⅢB期pLELC女性患者接受了4个周期的吉西他滨加顺铂治疗,达到部分缓解(PR),随后进行了根治性放疗。患者实现了临床完全缓解(CR),无复发生存超过五年。该病例突出了诱导化疗作为局部晚期pLELC有效治疗方法的潜力。
