Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Targeted therapies (TKI) have improved the prognosis of ALK-rearranged lung cancer (ALK+ NSCLC), but clinical courses vary widely. Early identification and molecular characterisation of treatment failure have key importance for subsequent therapies. We performed copy number variation (CNV) profiling and targeted panel sequencing from cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to monitor ALK+ NSCLC. METHODS: 271...
