Identifying and Targeting ROS1 Gene Fusions in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
23 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Oncogenic gene fusions involving the 3' region of ROS1 kinase have been identified in various human cancers. In this study, we sought to characterize ROS1 fusion genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and establish the fusion proteins as drug targets. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: An NSCLC tissue microarray (TMA) panel containing 447 samples was screened for ROS1 rearrangement by FISH. This assay was also...
