Robust response of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma to pembrolizumab and sequential radiotherapy: A case report

Abstract Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma (PPC) is a rare type of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a more aggressive clinical course and a worse outcome than other types of NSCLC. Pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death‐1 (PD‐1), has been approved as the first‐line...

Pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death‐1 (PD‐1), has been approved as the first‐line treatment for advanced NSCLC with robust PD‐L1 expression in at least 50% of tumour cells, without epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK) rearrangement.
