Abstract

There has been rapid advancement in the development of neoadjuvant therapy for non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which holds great promise as an effective treatment strategy. Some clinical trials have confirmed that immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy can be a recommended first‑line regimen for neoadjuvant treatment of NSCLC. The present study describes the case of a male patient aged 65 years who was diagnosed with stage IIIA (cT2N2M0) adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung. After the administration of two cycles of neoadjuvant immunotherapy (sintilimab) in combination with chemotherapy, stable disease was observed in the primary tumor, whereas partial remission was detected in the mediastinal lymph nodes based on imaging assessment. The patient underwent an immediate upper lobectomy of the left lung. Pathological analysis revealed a complete response in the primary lesion, with only minimal presence of tumor cells observed in the lymph nodes surrounding the mediastinum and bronchi. This indicated that the present neoadjuvant therapy could be used in the treatment of stage III adenosquamous lung carcinoma; however, to conclusively determine its efficacy, further studies targeting this specific cancer type are essential.
