Overview of ALK and ROS1 Rearranged Lung Cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Many attempts have been made to find genetic abnormalities inducing carcinogenesis after the development of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting EGFR in lung cancer. New target therapies have been already commercialized and studied along with the recent discovery of gene rearrangement involved in the carcinogenic process of non-small cell lung cancer. This study aims to investigate anplastic lymphoma kinase, c-ros oncogene 1, and receptor tyrosine kinase, in particular.

Crizotinib for the treatment of ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer: a success story to usher in the second decade of molecular targeted therapy in oncology.
Crizotinib, an ALK/MET/ROS1 inhibitor, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in August 2011, merely 4 years after the first publication of ALK-rearranged NSCLC. The crizotinib approval was accompanied by the simultaneous approval of an ALK companion diagnostic fluorescent in situ ...

BACKGROUND c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) rearrangement presents one of the newest molecular targets in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ROS1 rearrangement is predominantly found in adenocarcinoma cases and is exclusive to other oncogenes, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). The aim of this study w...
متن کاملCombining inhibitors of ALK and ROS1 with other agents for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
AS ALK and ROS1 rearrangements define relatively small subsets of patients with NSCLC. ALK rearrangement is identified in 3% to 5% of patients, whereas ROS1 rearrangement is identified in approximately 1% of patients. Although the percentages are small, the total number of patients diagnosed each year with advanced NSCLC is very large, so small percentages still translate into a sizable number ...
متن کاملALK and ROS1 as targeted therapy paradigms and clinical implications to overcome crizotinib resistance
During the past decade, more than 10 targetable oncogenic driver genes have been validated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and ROS1 kinase are two new driver genes implicated in ALK- and ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. Inhibition of ALK and ROS1 by crizotinib has been reported to be highly effective and well tolerated in these patients. However, resistance to criz...
متن کاملScreening of ROS1 Rearrangements in Lung Adenocarcinoma by Immunohistochemistry and Comparison with ALK Rearrangements
ROS1 rearrangement is a predictive biomarker for response to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, crizotinib. We investigated the usefulness of ROS1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the detection of patients who harbor ROS1 rearrangements in two separate cohorts. We also compared ROS1 IHC with ALK IHC in terms of diagnostic performance to predict each gene rearrangement. In a retrospective cohort, IHC ...
