Abstract
Chromosomal rearrangements involving the ROS1 receptor tyrosine kinase gene have recently been described in multiple malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ROS1 rearrangement defines a new molecular subset of NSCLC with the prevalence of ROS1 rearrangements around 1%-2%. ROS1-positive NSCLCs arise in young never-smokers with adenocarcinoma that are similar to those observed in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Crizotinib demonstrates in vitro activity and early clinical trial shows marked antitumor activity in ROS1-rearranged patients. The overall response rate is around 56% and the disease control rate at 8 weeks is about 76%. Further understanding the ROS1 fusions in the pathogenesis of NSCLC, methods to detect ROS1 rearrangements, and targeting ROS1-rearranged NSCLC patients with specific kinase inhibitors would lead to an era of personalized medicine.Entities:
