A comprehensive pathological evaluation is useful for diagnosing synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC). However, a consensus regarding treatment for sMPLC with different driver mutations is lacking. We present a case of sMPLC harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene. For the advanced EGFR-positive tumor, osimertinib plus chemotherapy...
