Computed Tomography Imaging Features and Distribution of Metastases in ROS1-rearranged Non–Small-cell Lung Cancer

Background: ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) rearrangements are a known molecular target in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our goal was to determine whether ROS1-rearranged NSCLC has imaging features and patterns of metastasis, which differ from those of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant NSCLC... Conclusion: Although considerable overlap exists in the imaging features of ROS1-rearranged, ALK-rearranged, and EGFR-mutant NSCLC, we found that ROS1-rearranged NSCLC has certain distinct imaging features and patterns of spread.
