Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement is a validated therapeutic driver gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). More than 30 different fusion partner genes of ALK in NSCLC have been reportedand most of these ALK fusions respond well to ALK inhibitors crizotinib. With the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS), more novel partners for ALK rearrangement have been identified. Here, we aimed to report the landscape of ALK rearrangement in Chinese patients with solid tumors... Conclusions: Novel ALK fusions are detected in patients with not only NSCLC but also other solid tumors. NGS fusion assay is an optional method for screening novel fusions. READ ARTICLE
