Abstract: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK ) rearrangement responds to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in lung cancer. Many cases ultimately acquire resistance to crizotinib. Resistance, including ALK -dominant or ALK non-dominant, mechanisms have been described. Transformation to small-cell lung cancer is rare.
