Abstract excerpt
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements represent one of the well-characterized oncogenic drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with the EML4-ALK fusion being the most common and clinically significant rearrangement. ALK inhibitors, including crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, and lorlatinib has significantly improved clinical outcomes in ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients. However,...
