Tracking the Evolution of Resistance to ALK Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Through Longitudinal Analysis of Circulating Tumor DNA
23 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Purpose ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) rearrangements predict for sensitivity to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); however, responses to ALK TKIs are generally short lived. Serial molecular analysis is an informative strategy used to identify genetic mediators of resistance. Although multiple studies support the clinical benefits of repeat tissue sampling, the clinical utility of longitudinal circulating...
