Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), disease progression occurs after a median of 9 to 10 months of crizotinib treatment. Several mechanisms of resistance have been identified and include ALK mutations and amplification or the activation of bypassing signaling pathways. Rebiopsy in NSCLC patients represents a critical issue and the analysis of...
