Gefitinib has come to be the most widely used epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Asian patients. Common side effects include mild to moderate skin rash and diarrhea, however, drug-induced liver injury of varying severity is overlooked in long-term gefitinib administration and rarely reported. The current case report presents a female Chinese NSCLC patient who developed severe gefitinib-induced hepatotoxicity and was rechallenged with gefitinib following a 3-month break. The patient achieved partial clinical remission but developed drug-induced grade 4 hepatotoxicity following gefitinib administration for 14 months. As an alternative, 4 cycles of chemotherapy were administered to control tumor progression. Following restoration of the patient’s liver function, gefitinib was rechallenged together with active hepatoprotective therapy. The patient presented good disease control and maintained normal liver function for >6 months. Thus, sequential chemotherapy and gefitinib rechallenge with hepatoprotective therapy may be a potential new treatment strategy for gefitinib-induced hepatotoxicity.
