摘要

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most prevalent liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma and is characterized by high malignancy and poor prognosis. Gemcitabine combined with cisplatin is the standard first-line therapy for metastatic or unresectable ICC. The combination of immunotherapy and targeted therapy represents a promising new direction for ICC treatment. Common genetic mutations in ICC include those in TP53, FGFR2, IDH1/2, and KRAS. MET alterations such as fusions and amplifications are rare in ICC. However, limited research has been conducted on the efficacy of specific MET inhibitors. We present two cases: the first with refractory ICC treated with a combination of immunotherapy and targeted therapy, harboring a ZKSCAN1-MET fusion and the second with a metastatic ICC with MET amplification. Both patients demonstrated a significant clinical response to crizotinib, a MET-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
