Abstract Text | ALK and ROS1 are prognostic and predictive tumor markers in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), which are more often found in lung adenocarcinomas as with other oncogenes such as EGFR, KRAS, or C-MET. Their positivity is 2.6% and 1.3%, respectively, and patients who have mutations in both genes are extremely rare. Here, we report a 61-year-old male diagnosed with acinar adenocarcinoma, who was shown to have both ALK and ROS1 rearrangements but was EGFR- and C-MET mutation-negative. He was treated surgically and received targeted therapy. Our review of the literature revealed that few such cases of concurrent ALK and ROS1 rearrangements have been reported. This information furthers our understanding of the molecular biology underlying NSCLC which will aid the selection of optimal treatment for patients with more than one driver mutation. |
