Combined Screening Suggested to Better Detect ALK Rearrangements in Samples from Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangements occur in 1% to 7% of non-small-cell lung cancers, but nearly 25% of samples from NSCLC patients with ALK rearrangements were not identified when analyzed by either fluorescent in situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry.  More...
