ALK rearranged non–small cell lung carcinoma with EML4-NTRK3 fusion as a possible mechanism of resistance to third-generation ALK inhibitors

Objectives: Neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions might be an off-target resistance mechanism to ALK Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) in the same way as it has been suggested with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) TKIs. Materials and methods: DNA and RNA next-gene...
