Abstract:
Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare, poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that contains sarcomatoid components or sarcomatoid differentiation, and accounts for less than 1% of all lung tumors. Compared to other types of NSCLC, PSC has more invasive biological behavior, is prone to metastasis, and has a higher recurrence rate after early surgery. Its greater resistance to traditional treatments leads to a poorer prognosis compared to other NSCLCs. Immunotherapy offers the possibility of long-term survival for PSC patients.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
