ALK Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in ALK-rearranged Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This study was to explore the efficacy of ALK-TKI in lung squamous cell carcinoma. Approximately 5% of lung adenocarcinomas have oncogenic fusions of EML-4 and ALK a mutation associated with tumorigenesis and migration.
