Molecular Tumor Board Case Series: Targeted Treatments For Cancer And Their Toxicities: Amivantamab-Induced Linear IgA Bullous Dermatosis

Mo Med. 2023 Mar-Apr;120(2):151-154.

Abstract

In the era of targeted treatments based on next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, clinicians must be diligent in aligning patients with treatments giving them the best chance of survival while weighing the risk of toxicity caused by agents targeting specific gene mutations. In this case, we describe a patient with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutation positive recurrent lung adenocarcinoma who received amivantamab and experienced severe dermatologic toxicity.
