Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Evaluation of the frequency and clinical characteristics of ALK rearrangements in Latin-American countries. Latin American countries are heterogeneous in terms of lung cancer incidence, ethnicity, and exposure to potential carcinogens. The discovery of the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) translocation as an oncogenic driver has led to the development of novel therapies with activity in vitro and in the clinic.
