Abstract
Pulmonary carcinosarcoma (PC) is a rare and highly malignant type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and has a poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of an 88-year-old patient with inoperable PC and a history of cerebral infarction who was treated with first-line anlotinib combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The therapeutic response has sustained for 10 months. Our work suggests that SBRT combined with anlotinib may be a safe and effective treatment strategy for octogenarians with PC.

Abstract
Pulmonary carcinosarcoma is a rare lung tumor accounting for <1% of primary lung cancers, characterized by biphasic components with both carcinomatous and sarcomatous mesenchymal features. This report describes a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma in an octogenarian who was treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and whose therapeutic response was sustained for 2 years. Along with other treatment modalities, SBRT might be considered for the treatment of medically inoperable localized stage pulmonary carcinosarcoma.
