Mutations in ALK are a common mechanism of acquired resistance to small molecule ALK inhibitors in ALK-rearranged lung cancer. Different mutants exhibit differential sensitivity to ALK inhibitors. Matching the mutational profile of the tumor with the appropriate ALK inhibitor is likely to be important to maximize benefit for patients.
ALK突变是ALK重排肺癌对小分子ALK抑制剂获得性耐药的常见机制。不同的突变体对ALK抑制剂表现出不同的敏感性。使肿瘤的突变谱与合适的ALK抑制剂相匹配,对于使患者最大程度获益可能至关重要。
