Abstract excerpt
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion genes are found in 3%-5% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 84% of all lung cancer diagnoses. Available treatment options for ALK-positive NSCLCs involve the use of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) which have shown to be effective with a high response rate. Nonetheless, the emergence of multiple...
