BACKGROUND: This study details a case of a patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring an exon 19 deletion in the EGFR gene. METHOD: A 46-year-old female patient was diagnosed with stage IVb left lung adenocarcinoma, with multiple bone and lymph node metastases. Following the identification of tumor-specific antigen peptides, the patient received a combination treatment of immunotherapy (TSA-DC-CTL) and oral osimertinib. Peripheral blood circulating immune cells and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were monitored before and after treatment. PET-CT and CT scans were used to assess the tumor response to treatment. RESULTS: A significant increase in total lymphocyte percentage and decrease in the number of CTCs in the patient was observed. Imaging studies showed a notable reduction in tumor metastases. CONCLUSION: This report demonstrates the safety and efficacy of TSA-DC-CTL cell immunotherapy combined with osimertinib in the treatment of a patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma with an EGFR exon 19 deletions. This study describes a promising new treatment option for patients with advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations.
