Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate ALK gene rearrangements in lung adenocarcinomas in correlation with clinicopathologic parameters including prognosis. METHODS: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to detect ALK gene rearrangements in 53 cases of lung adenocarcinomas. Mutations in exons 18, 19, 20 and 21 of EGFR were analyzed by Scorpion amplification refractory mutation system (Scorpions ARMS). RESULTS: In...
