  • Title: Lung adenocarcinoma with an uncommon CCDC85A-ALK fusion responding to alectinib: A case report.
    Author: Lin J, Wang W, Lin J, Chen R, Cao Y.
    Journal: J Cell Mol Med; 2022 Oct; 26(20):5326-5329. PubMed ID: 36102237.
    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old Chinese man with a right lung mass and lymph node metastasis (T4N3M0 IIIB) was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma after a CT-guided biopsy. With the wide application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in tumour detection, we found a rare CCDC85A-ALK fusion. The patient received alectinib, which had marked efficacy. This is the first report of a lung adenocarcinoma patient harbouring a new uncommon anaplastic lymphocyte kinase fusion that showed a remarkable response to alectinib. NGS aids in selecting treatment in non-small cell lung cancer patients.
