Homogeneity and High Concordance of ALK Translocation in Primary Lung Adenocarcinoma and Paired Lymph Node Metastasis
Abstract Translocation of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene is an important determinator for the response to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The existence of genetic heterogeneity will affect the results of molecular testing, especially in biop...
