However, a Twas diagnosed with advanced adenocarcinoma with bone relapse of the primary lesion and hepatic metastases was seen and brain metastases. A FISH study of a biopsy sample of the approximately 7 months after the administration of alectinib left clavicle detected ALK rearrangement, and the patient was (Figure 2D), and a rebiopsy of the hepatic lesion showed a confirmed to harbor variant 2 of the EML4-ALK fusion gene secondary mutation of the ALK gene at codon 1171 (I1171N; by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) Figure 2E). In both cases, bypass track resistance through the and direct sequencing (Figure 1A). After the failure of first-line activation of an alternative driver oncogene, such as EGFR or chemotherapy with cisplatin plus pemetrexed (Figure 1B), the KRAS, was not identified. patient was enrolled in a phase III study comparing crizotinib Various mechanisms which TI - Secondary Mutations at I1171 in the ALK JF - Journal of Thoracic Oncology DA - 2014-12-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wolters-kluwer-health/secondary-mutations-at-i1171-in-the-alk-9H1P0VAqeC SP - e86–e87-e86&ndash EP - ndash;e87-e86–e87 VL - 9 IS - 12 DP - DeepDyve ER -
