Pulmonary enteric adeno-carcinoma (PEAC) is a rare type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), for which no established standard treatment exists. Combination therapy with the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibody pembrolizumab and platinum-containing chemotherapy is the standard treatment for NSCLC patients, but its effectiveness in PEAC is uncertain.
