Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nodular ground-glass opacities (nGGO) are a specific type of lung adenocarcinoma. ALK rearrangements and driver mutations such as EGFR and K-ras are frequently found in all types of lung adenocarcinoma. EGFR mutations play a role in the early carcinogenesis of nGGOs, but the role of ALK rearrangement remains unknown. METHODS: We studied 217 nGGOs resected from 215 lung cancer patients. Pathology,...
