Résumé

Patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement benefit from treatment with multiple ALK inhibitors (ALKi). Approximately 30% of tumor biopsies contain insufficient tissue for successful ALK molecular characterization. This study evaluated the added value of analyzing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a surrogate to ALK tissue analysis and as a function of the response to ALKi.
