This case demonstrates the efficacy of genotype-guided targeted therapy in the management of recurrent lung adenocarcinoma presenting with brain metastases and pericardial effusion. The rapid and complete resolution of brain metastases and marked improvement in pericardial effusion within two weeks of initiating almonertinib therapy underscore the pivotal role of molecular profiling in guiding personalized treatment for advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC. It also emphasizes the importance of rigorous postoperative surveillance for early detection of recurrence, thereby facilitating timely intervention and optimizing clinical outcomes in patients with advanced NSCLC.
He had been taking almonertinib for 26 months, hybutimibe for 3 months and alirocumab for 1 month prior to admission. Almonertinib is a moderately sensitive substrate of CYP3A4, thereby may elevate statin concentration and increase the likelihood of developing myopathy. For patients who need to take almonertinib and cholesterol-lowering drugs simultaneously, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors and cholesterol absorption inhibitors (such as ezetimibe and hybutimibe) can be considered instead of atorvastatin for the reduction of cardiovascular events.

Animal experiment demonstrated significant DDIs between two drugs no matter single dose or multiple doses were administered, which obviously increased the drug exposure and inhibited elimination. Close attention should be paid to the combination regimens of these two drugs in clinical practice.

Remarkably, the patient has maintained disease-free survival without ILD relapse for 36 months. This case provides clinical evidence that switching to almonertinib may represent a viable and safe therapeutic strategy, thereby addressing a critical unmet need in the management of resected early-stage EGFR-mutant NSCLC after Osi-ILD.
At 36-month follow-up, she remains disease-free with no significant treatment-related adverse events observed. This case demonstrates a potentially viable approach that warrants further investigation in this high-risk clinical scenario, offering a management template that simultaneously addresses infection resolution and tumor control to enable curative surgery.
