Background: ... In our study, we investigated concurrent molecular factors that could contribute to the heterogeneity of their clinical outcomes to crizotinib therapy... Conclusion: Our study revealed that concurrent deleterious mutations, particularly copy number amplifications in oncogenic genes have prognostic implications in patients with EML4-ALK-rearranged NSCLC receiving crizotinib therapy. These observations advance the understanding of the heterogeneity of treatment responses among patients with EML4-ALK-rearranged tumors. READ ARTICLE
