Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers, while the current treatment options for gastric cancer are relatively scarce due to insufficient understanding of molecular characteristics and subtypes of gastric cancer. Different gene rearrangements of anaplastic lymphocyte kinase () have been reported in several types of cancer, especially in NSCLC. The first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib, second-generation (ceritinib, alectinib, and brigatinib) and third-generation (lorlatinib) -TKIs have been widely used for NSCLC patients with rearrangement. However, little was reported about mutation in gastric cancer (GC). Here we identified a novel form of fusion, a case of GC with fusion, and this is the first report of fusion in gastric cancer.
胃癌是最常见的癌症之一,然而,由于对胃癌分子特征和亚型的了解不足,目前胃癌的治疗选择相对较少。在几种类型的癌症中,尤其是在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中,已报道了间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)的不同基因重排。第一代ALK酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)克唑替尼、第二代(色瑞替尼、阿来替尼和布加替尼)和第三代(劳拉替尼)ALK-TKIs已广泛用于ALK重排的NSCLC患者。然而,关于ALK突变在胃癌(GC)中的报道很少。在此,我们鉴定出一种新型的ALK融合形式,即一例具有ALK融合的GC病例,这是ALK融合在胃癌中的首次报道。
