Complete response of recurrent perihilar cholangiocarcinoma following sintilimab combined with lenvatinib plus S-1: a case report and review of literature
ANTI-CANCER DRUGS(2024)
摘要
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a refractory malignancy with an unfavorable prognosis and a high probability of recurrence. Systemic chemotherapy is critical for palliative treatment, but effective therapeutic strategies for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma after first-line chemotherapy failure are scarce. Here, we introduced a sustained benefit following sintilimab combined with lenvatinib plus S-1 in a patient with recurrent perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. A 52-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to yellow skin and sclera, and further radiological examination revealed perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. The patient underwent surgery and histopathological results confirmed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with metastatic lymph nodes. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 was given. One year after surgery, the patient experienced hepatic recurrence. Then, she received radiofrequency ablation combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin. Unfortunately, radiological assessment revealed progressive disease with multiple liver metastases after treatment. Subsequently, she received sintilimab combined with lenvatinib plus S-1 and the lesions were completely regressed following 14 cycles of combination therapy. The patient recovered well without disease recurrence at the last follow-up. Sintilimab combined with lenvatinib plus S-1 may be an alternative therapeutic option for chemotherapy-refractory perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, and further evaluation in a larger number of patients is needed.
