Abstract

EML4-ALK gene infusions are detectable in 2-7% of cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and generally identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The above tumors are susceptible to crizotinib therapy. Genetic sequencing and immunohistochemical staining revealed crizotinib-sensitive ALK translocation in a patient with metastatic NSCLC.
