Molecular diagnosis in non-small-cell lung cancer: expert opinion on ALK and ROS1 testing
19 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
The effectiveness of targeted therapies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) depends on the accurate determination of the genomic status of the tumour. For this reason, molecular analyses to detect genetic rearrangements in some genes (ie, ALK , ROS1 , RET and NTRK ) have become standard in patients with advanced disease. Since immunohistochemistry is easier to implement and...
