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.
