[Nearly Complete Response after Second-Line Therapy with Nab-Paclitaxel Monotherapy in a Patient with Recurrent Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer].

: A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. After resection of a metastatic brain tumor, she had received first-line chemotherapy consisting of 6 courses of carboplatin and pemetrexed, then 14 courses of maintenance therapy of pemetrexed until disease progression. As second-line treatment, she was administered nanoparticle albuminbound paclitaxel(nab-paclitaxel)monotherapy. A nearly complete response(nearly CR)has been maintained for 3 years without any severe adverse events. Although there is insufficient evidence for the use of nab-paclitaxel monotherapy as second-line chemotherapy, it could be an effective treatment option for patients with recurrent advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
