Coming soonAnaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer is a distinct molecular subtype of non-small cell lung cancer that affects the pulmonary epithelial tissue.
It is defined by chromosomal rearrangements in the *ALK* gene—most commonly a fusion with the *EML4* gene—that produce a chimeric receptor tyrosine kinase with constitutive oncogenic activity, driving unregulated cellular proliferation and survival.
Representing approximately three to five percent of non-small cell lung cancer cases, it predominantly manifests as lung adenocarcinoma and occurs disproportionately in younger adults and individuals with light or no history of tobacco use.
Clinically, these tumors frequently present at an advanced or metastatic stage, displaying a notable propensity for central nervous system involvement.
