    Journal Article

    Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown impressive results in mutant lung cancer (LC) patients in terms of disease control rate with a positive impact on overall survival. Nevertheless, after months of treatment with targeted therapy, progression inevitably occurs. Some patients develop oligoprogression and local treatment is required for optimal disease control while maintaining EGFR-TKIs. This work features a clinical case of a patient harboring an mutant LC undergoing oligoprogression to EGFR-TKIs, first into the brain and afterward to the primary tumor, requiring local ablative strategies, including primary tumor resection three years after the start of osimertinib. Currently, the patient is still alive and continues with a complete response upon EGFR-TKIs maintenance. Hence, oligoprogression, even in driven oncogenic tumors, represents a distinct biological entity and potential curative disease that deserves particular consideration in multidisciplinary tumor boards. In this case, tumor primary resection after three years of the initial diagnosis represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of mutant patients.
