Abstract
ALK rearrangement was not a significant prognostic factor in surgically resectable NSCLC. The clinical profiles of ALK-rearranged lung cancer patients overlapped with those of EGFR-mutated patients. Therefore, we suggest that simultaneous tests for ALK IHC and EGFR mutation (Chung's SNUBH molecular test protocol), which has important implications for the storage and use of small biopsy or cytology samples for genetic analysis.
