The prognosis of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor( G-CSF) -producing lung cancer is very poor. We present a case of G-CSF-producing locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer successfully treated with chemoradiotherapy. A 65-year-old man presented with a slight fever, general fatigue, and cough. A mass was detected in the right upper lobe of his lung, and it was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma by computed tomography (CT) -guided needle biopsy. Laboratory data indicated marked leukocytosis and elevated serum G-CSF levels, and therefore, the tumor was strongly suspected to be G-CSF-producing lung cancer. After systemic evaluation, the patient was treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cT3N2M0, stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Complete response (CR) was achieved, and he remained well with no recurrence of the cancer for over 3 years after treatment. Although immunohistochemical staining results for G- CSF were negative, clinically, the tumor was diagnosed as G-CSF-producing lung cancer.

D016179 Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor A glycoprotein of MW 25 kDa containing internal disulfide bonds. It induces the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells and functionally activates mature blood neutrophils. Among the family of colony-stimulating factors, G-CSF is the most potent inducer of terminal differentiation to granulocytes and macrophages of leukemic myeloid cell lines.
