Two Cases of SMARCA4-Deficient Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with Improved Performance Status (PS) after Treatment with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs)

SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF)-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily A, member 4 (SMARCA4) mutations are commonly reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and are associated with a poor prognosis. There is insufficient evidence regarding the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in SMARCA4-deficient NSCLC patients with poor performance status (PS). We report two cases of advanced SMARCA4-deficient NSCLC treated with ICIs, in which marked regression of the tumor and improved general condition of the patients were achieved.
