We herein report a 66-year-old woman with advanced lung adenocarcinoma [programmed cell death and its ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score 60%] lacking driver oncogenes in whom meningeal carcinomatosis, along with sudden onset dizziness, deafness, and consciousness disturbance, appeared after second-line chemotherapy. Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) and Pembrolizumab were subsequently administered, and third-line chemotherapy with Pembrolizumab is now ongoing. At the time of writing, the patient has achieved a 23-month survival without disease progression. Our findings suggest that the combination of WBRT and an immune checkpoint inhibitor is effective for non-small-cell lung cancer patients lacking driver oncogenes who develop meningeal carcinomatosis.
