间变性淋巴瘤激酶基因融合黑色素瘤一例

A Case of Melanoma Harboring an Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Gene Fusion

  • 摘要: 间变性淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK)基因融合在多种肿瘤中均有发生,已成为重要的治疗靶点。ALK抑制剂在多种ALK基因融合肿瘤中展现了抗肿瘤能力。然而,ALK基因融合及ALK抑制剂治疗反应在黑色素瘤中并不明确。本文报道1例ALK基因融合肢端型黑色素瘤患者,其先后接受帕博利珠单抗辅助治疗、替莫唑胺+阿帕替尼+帕博利珠单抗治疗,出现疾病进展,后续改用洛拉替尼治疗,肿瘤明显缩小。本病例提示ALK抑制剂可能作为ALK基因融合黑色素瘤的一种治疗选择。

     

    Abstract: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene fusions occur in a variety of tumors and have become important therapeutic targets for multiple cancer types. ALK inhibitors have demonstrated antitumor activity in various tumors with ALK gene fusion. However, the presence of ALK gene fusions and the therapeutic response to ALK inhibitors in melanoma remain unclear. This article reports a case of a patient with acral melanoma harboring a ALK gene fusion, who initially received adjuvant pembrolizumab therapy followed by combination treatment with temozolomide plus apatinib and pembrolizumab, but experienced disease progression. Subsequent treatment with lorlatinib resulted in significant tumor shrinkage. This case suggests that ALK inhibitors may serve as a therapeutic option for patients with melanoma harboring a ALK gene fusion.
