Sorafenib Combined with DOAP Regimen for the Treatment of BRAF
V600E-Negative Langerhans Cell Sarcoma: A three-year follow-up result
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the
clinical efficacy of the combination therapy of sorafenib and DOAP
(doxorubicin, vincristine, cytarabine, and prednisone) in the treatment
of a case of Langerhans cell sarcoma (LCS) negative for BRAF V600E
mutation. Furthermore, we aim to retrospectively analyze the clinical
characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of LCS.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical
data, pathological examination, and treatment of a patient with LCS,
along with a review of relevant literature both domestic and
international. Results: After four cycles of sorafenib combined
with DOAP chemotherapy, the patient underwent sequential local
radiotherapy, resulting in complete remission of the disease. The
treatment-related side effects were manageable, and the patient
tolerated the treatment well. The patient has survived for 40 months.
Conclusion: LCS is a highly rare and aggressive malignancy that
can involve various organs throughout the body. It presents with complex
and diverse clinical manifestations, progresses rapidly, and has a poor
prognosis. Treatment options include surgery, radiotherapy,
chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation. However, there is currently no universally recognized
optimal treatment protocol, and personalized treatment is necessary.
Targeted therapy offers new hope for LCS patients.
