Importance of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Gene Re-arrangements on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Öz
Despite all improvements in treatment modalities, lung cancer
is the leading cause of death related to cancers worldwide.
Environmental, occupational and genetic factors, as well as smoking
play role in the etiology. Lung cancers are generally divided
into two main histologic categories: small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Several gene aberrations
are detected in NSCLC, which constitute approximately 85% of
all lung cancers. The Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene is a
member of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase super family. ALK gene
involves with translocation those results in formation of fusion protein
in various malignancies such as lung cancer and lymphoma. In
this article, latest literature regarding re-arrangement of ALK seen
in NSCLC will be reviewed.
