AbstractWe herein report a patient with KRAS wild-type non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with concurrent STK11 and KEAP1 mutations. A 53-year-old man visited a local doctor with a complaint of left shoulder swelling and pain. He was diagnosed with NSCLC cT4N0M1c stage IVB. A comprehensive genome profile test revealed mutations in STK11 and KEAP1 but no KRAS mutations. The patient was refractory to radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. Thus, STK11 and KEAP1 mutations can be considered resistance mutations that confer resistance to various anticancer therapies in KRAS wild-type NSCLC.
