Histologic transformation of lung cancer during pembrolizumab therapy: A case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The standard of care for fit locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, in a subset of patients with lung adenocarcinoma with mutant EGFR (LA-mEGFR), the role of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is not clear. We compared CCRT versus TKI...
