Hemolytic anemia caused by alectinib, an Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) inhibitor: A case report
Background: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) inhibitors are tyrosine kinase inhibitors used as molecular-targeted therapy for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) harbouring ALK translocations.

Incidence and risk factors of pneumonitis in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with alectinib and thoracic radiotherapy. [PDF]
Background Alectinib and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) are important modalities in the management of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), both of which can cause treatment-related pneumonitis (TRP), a serious ...

Excess of NPM-ALK oncogenic signaling promotes cellular apoptosis and drug dependency. [PDF]
Most of the anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) cases carry the t(2;5; p23;q35) that produces the fusion protein NPM-ALK (nucleophosmin-anaplastic lymphoma kinase).

Successful treatment with crizotinib after alectinib-induced interstitial lung disease
Although alectinib is a well-tolerated and highly effective inhibitor of a second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase, special attention should be paid to the possibility of potentially severe and fatal adverse events such as interstitial pneumonia. We

Differential protein stability and clinical responses of EML4 - ALKfusion variants to various ALK inhibitors in advanced ALK - rearranged non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibition using crizotinib has become the standard of care in advanced ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the treatment outcomes and duration of response vary widely.

EML4-ALK variants: biological and molecular properties, and the implications for patients [PDF]
Since the discovery of the fusion between EML4 (echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like 4) and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase), EML4-ALK, in lung adenocarcinomas in 2007, and the subsequent identification of at least 15 different variants in lung

Brigatinib Versus Alectinib in ALK-Positive NSCLC After Disease Progression on Crizotinib: Results of Phase 3 ALTA-3 Trial. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: This open-label, phase 3 trial (ALTA-3; NCT03596866) compared efficacy and safety of brigatinib versus alectinib for ALK+ NSCLC after disease progression on crizotinib.

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective
Abstract Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.
