ALK-rearrangement in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Thoracic cancer · Apr 2018 · review

Crizotinibnon-small-cell lung cancer

This paper is a review about ALK rearrangements in non-small-cell lung cancer and the drug crizotinib. It summarizes ALK fusion partners, ways to detect ALK rearrangement, and notes that many ALK fusions in NSCLC patients respond well to crizotinib. No new patient data or trial results are reported in the abstract.

Key findings
  • ALK rearrangements in NSCLC involve multiple fusion partners, including EML4, KIF5B, KLC1, and TPR.
  • The review states that most ALK fusions in NSCLC patients respond well to the ALK inhibitor crizotinib.
  • The paper also reviews detection methods for ALK rearrangement.
Limitations: Review article; no original experimental or clinical outcome data in the abstract.; No quantitative results, sample size, dose, or follow-up are reported.; The abstract does not specify the evidence base behind the statement that most ALK fusions respond well to crizotinib..

Background review of an actionable oncogenic alteration and its targeted inhibitor in NSCLC.
