Bilateral Ovarian Metastases from ALK Rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement, is a kind of driver mutation, accounts for 3%-5% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC patients harboring ALK fusion genes have distinct clinical features and good response to ALK inhibitors. Metastasis from lung cancer to the ovary has rarely been known. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman with bilateral ovarian metastases from ALK rearranged NSCLC. She underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for ovary masses, which were progressed after cytotoxic chemotherapy although primary lung mass was decreased. Histopathological examination of the ovary tumor showed characteristic adenocarcinoma patterns of the lung and ALK rearrangement.

Clinical data from the real world: efficacy of Crizotinib in Chinese patients with advanced ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer and brain metastases
Brain metastasis in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is often considered as a terminal stage of advanced disease. Crizotinib is a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients. Herein, we conducted a retrospective study to explore how Crizotinib affects the control of brain metastases and the overall prognosis in advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC patien...

Identification of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene has refined the classification of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and promoted research on molecularly targeted drugs such as crizotinib, an ALK inhibitor with good efficacy, in ALK-rearranged NSCLC. At present, few studies have reported the efficacy of crizotinib in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC with brain metastases. In a pat...
متن کاملSuccessful Crizotinib Rechallenge after Crizotinib-Induced Organizing Pneumonia in Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Crizotinib, a first-line anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown promising results for the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic lung cancer presenting the ALK rearrangement. On the other hand, secondary organizing pneumonia (OP) caused by anti-cancer drugs has been reported. While it is sometimes needed to rechallenge the suspected drug, the standard therap...

PURPOSE Crizotinib is an oral kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical benefits of crizotinib in patients with brain metastases have not been previously studied. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC enrolled onto clinical trial PROFILE 1005 or 1007 (randomly assigned to crizotinib) were included ...

BACKGROUND Patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are now preferentially treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, patients treated with ALK inhibitors end up with acquired resistance. CASE PRESENTATION We present a patient with recurrent ALK-rearranged NSCLC that developed multiple brain metastases and meningitis carcinomat...
