Anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangement in non-small-cell lung cancer in a Brazilian population
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide (1). Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), which represents approximately 80% of all lung cancer cases, is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease and is associated with short survival time. Although the prognosis of this disease remains poor, significant advances in the genetics and treatment of NSCLC have been made in...
متن کاملLarge Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Harboring an Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) Rearrangement with Response to Alectinib
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement is most commonly observed in lung adenocarcinoma in a subset of lung cancer. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) harboring an ALK rearrangement is very rare. Based on the findings from a transbronchial lung biopsy, a 75-year-old non-smoking woman was diagnosed with LCNEC with multiple liver and bone metastases. After seven cycles of cytotox...
متن کاملUterine Cervix Metastasis in Lung Adenocarcinoma with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Rearrangement
The importance of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) as an oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has emerged as a major concern due to a dramatic clinical effect of targeted therapy. As compared with the research for targeted therapy, the study about clinicopathological characteristics for ALK positive NSCLC hasn’t been worked enough. Here, we describe a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with ...
متن کاملExpression of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Protein in Human Breast Cancer
Background & Objectives: Anaplastic lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the genesis of several human cancers. ALK was initially identified because of its involvement in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). ALK is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops. Studies reveal that the presence of anti-ALK antibodies ...
متن کاملTargeting anaplastic lymphoma kinase in lung cancer.
Several decades of cancer research have revealed a pivotal role for tyrosine kinases as key regulators of signaling pathways, controlling cell growth and differentiation. Deregulation of tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling occurs frequently in cancer and is believed to drive the initiation and progression of disease. Chromosomal rearrangements involving the tyrosine kinase anaplastic lymphoma ki...
