ABSTRACT
Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) of the lung is a rare variant of adenocarcinoma characterized by abundant intracytoplasmic mucin within the tumor. Although IMA has poor sensitivity to conventional chemotherapy regimens used for non-small cell lung cancer, we observed a better response to the bevacizumab (BEV) regimen. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the response to BEV-combined regimens in patients with IMA. Among 16 consecutive patients diagnosed with IMA between January 2016 and December 2020 at our institution and treated with systemic chemotherapy, seven patients were treated with BEV-combined regimens. The overall response rate to BEV-combined regimens was 85.7%, with six patients showing a partial response. The median progression-free survival was 6.1 months. One patient experienced respiratory failure, which was improved after administration of BEV-combined regimen. BEV-combined systemic therapy may have a favorable effect on advanced or recurrent IMA of the lung.
