Abstract

A 64-year-old woman who has never smoked receives the diagnosis of stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung and undergoes right upper lobectomy. One year later, bone and liver metastases develop. She is treated with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab, but progressive bone metastases are noted after 6 weeks of therapy. An oncologist recommends the initiation of erlotinib therapy.
