Development of a novel ALK rearrangement screening test for non-small cell lung cancers.

Development of a novel ALK rearrangement screening test for non-small cell lung cancers.

Approximately 5-7% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases harbor an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene and may benefit from ALK inhibitor therapy. To detect ALK fusion genes, we developed a novel test using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the ALK kinase do...
