Mixed responses to first‐line alectinib in non‐small cell lung cancer patients with rare ALK gene fusions: A case series and literature review
19 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion is a well-defined biomarker for ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Alectinib, a second-generation ALK-TKI, has been shown to have significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) than first-generation ALK inhibitors in untreated ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients. However, its clinical efficacy on rare ALK fusions remains...
