Description
A 28 year old patient with T4N3M1 stage lung adenocarcinoma harboring an EML4-ALK variant 1 fusion was treated with crizotinib after failing conventional therapy. The patient achieved a partial response but progressed after 5 months of treatment. Molecular analysis at this time identified two missense mutations in ALK C1156Y and L1196M. Ba/F3 cells expressing EML4-ALK L1196M or EML4-ALK C1156Y were more resistant to crizontinib treatment than those expressing EML4-ALK wildtype.
