Abstract
BACKGROUND: The fusion (rearrangement) of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene has been identified as an import factor to the tumorigenesis and development of lung cancer. ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have been proved to have good effects to ALK positive lung cancers. The increasement of the relevance ratio of ALK will be very important to patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical pathological features of ALK positive lung cancer, and the roles of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in screening and confirming the ALK positive cases in the testing flow of ALK.Entities:

Expression of ALK in 4 EGFR mutated lung adenocarcinomas with different histologic subtypes and the confirmation by FISH. A: High expression of ALK in cytoplasm of papillary predominant adenocarcinoma (×200); B: High expression of ALK in cytoplasm of solid predominant adenocarcinoma (×200); C: High expression of ALK in cytoplasm of acinar (cribriform) predominant adenocarcinoma (×200); D: In ALK IHC positive acinar predominant adenocarcinoma, the results of a break-apart FISH assay of tumor cells with separation of red and green probe signals or extra red probe signals (arrows) indicates a break of ALK or maybe chromosomal rearrangement involving ALK. The FISH result is positive.
