Abstract
Data in 2020 show that lung cancer is the second most common cancer with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world, among which small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 15% of the total number of lung cancers, but the number of deaths accounts for 25% of lung cancers. SCLC is an aggressive malignancy disease with a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. The survival rate of small cell lung cancer is lower than other types of lung cancer and the prognosis is very poor. At present, there is still a lack of effective therapeutic options for SCLC after the failure of second-line treatment. However, studies have shown that anti-vascular therapy and programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are effective in SCLC. In the present case, a combination therapy of camreizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, and anlotinib (an anti-angiogenic drug) was administered to treat a 58-year-old male patient with programmed cell death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) negative metastatic SCLC accompanied by primary tongue cancer. A total of 28 cycles were used from March 2020 to November 2021. Until November 2021, the survival time of the patient is 31 months; he has survived for 19 months with no disease progression, and is currently classified as complete response (CR). Our study demonstrates that camrelizumab plus anlotinib may be a promising treatment option for patients with metastatic SCLC.
