Resumo: O erlotinib é uma molécula que inibe selectivamente a actividade tirosina-cinase do receptor do factor de crescimento epidérmico (EGFR).Os autores apresentam um caso clÃnico que exemplifica a utilização do erlotinib em segunda linha no carcinoma pulmonar de não pequenas células (CPNPC). Trata-se do caso de uma mulher de 76 anos, não fu-madora, com adenocarcinoma do pulmão avançado (estádio IIIB) previamente tratada com dois ciclos de quimioterapia standard, a qual foi interrompida por reacções adversas graves.Rev Port Pneumol 2008; XIV (Supl 3): S23-S28 Abstract: Erlotinib is a molecule that selectively inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase activity.The authors present a case that exemplifies the use of erlotinib as second line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This case is about a 76 years old woman, non-smoker, with advanced lung adenocarcinoma (stage IIIB) previously treated with two cycles of standard chemotherapy, which were interrupted by serious adverse reactions.Rev Port Pneumol 2008; XIV (Supl 3): S23-S28 Palavras-chave: Cancro do pulmão, adenocarcinoma, erlotinib, Key-words: Lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, erlotinib
