A first case report of clinical response to targeted therapy in a patient with primary myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPrimary myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung is a rare subtype in lung cancer. Comprehensive molecular profiling of myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung is absent, neither was clinical evidence of targeted therapy available for this disease. Therefore, the optimal treatment regimen of this tumor needs to be established. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we present a case of a 68-year-old patient with stage IVB primary myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung who harbored EGFR exon 19 deletion and KRAS mutation and underwent icotinib targeted therapy, achieving partial response (PR) with progression free survival (PFS) of 3 months.
conclusionTo our knowledge, this study describes the first documented case of primary myoepithelial carcinoma lung cancer patient harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion and KRAS mutation, and showed clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) treatment in this patient.
