ALK and ROS1 Overexpression is Very Rare in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
3 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Crizotinib, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown tremendous promise in the treatment of lung adenocarcinomas harboring either ALK or ROS1 rearrangements. Recently, small studies of colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) have suggested an incidence of EML4-ALK translocations of 0.4% to 2.4% and FIG-ROS1 translocations of 0.8%. In lung cancer, screening immunohistochemical staining for ALK and ROS1 has been...
