BACKGROUND/AIM: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements define a distinct group of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mainly represented by never-smoking young individuals. However, we also encounter elderly patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC over the age of 80 years. We report herein three cases of these patients that we have experienced.
CASE REPORT
Three patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC aged 80 years or older received therapy with the ALK-tyrosine kinase, alectinib. Of them, one was male and two had a history of smoking. Comorbidities, especially heart diseases, were prominent. Long-term survival was achieved with alectinib treatment in two patients.
CONCLUSION
ALK-rearranged mutations should be evaluated even in octogenarians with NSCLC, regardless of sex and smoking history. Even if they have comorbid diseases, long-term control might be achieved with alectinib therapy in cooperation with physicians other than chest physicians and medical oncologists.
背景/目的：间变性淋巴瘤激酶（ALK）重排定义了一组独特的非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）患者，主要以从不吸烟的年轻个体为代表。然而，我们也遇到了80岁以上的ALK重排NSCLC老年患者。我们在此报告我们所经历的三例此类患者。
病例报告
三名80岁及以上的ALK重排NSCLC患者接受了ALK酪氨酸激酶阿来替尼治疗。其中一名为男性，两名有吸烟史。合并症，尤其是心脏病，较为突出。两名患者通过阿来替尼治疗实现了长期生存。
结论
即使是患有NSCLC的八旬老人，无论性别和吸烟史如何，都应评估ALK重排突变。即使他们患有合并症，与胸科医生和肿瘤内科医生以外的医生合作，通过阿来替尼治疗也可能实现长期控制。
