[Detection of ALK positive pulmonary adenocarcinoma using immunostaining].

Abstract excerpt

Although ALK-positive lung cancer cases have been recently reported, it is impossible to detect using only morphology technique. Furthermore, though RT-PCR and FISH techniques can be used for detection, they are not practical for screening. We investigated whether ALK-positive lung cancer could be detected using a conventional immunostaining method. Resected lung adenocarcinoma samples from 88 nonsmoker cases...
