Anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK ) rearrangement is a well-known driver oncogene in non-small-cell lung cancer and has also been identified in other types of tumors. However, there is limited evidence on the clinical response to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as alectinib and crizotinib, in rare tumors with ALK fusion. We evaluated the therapeutic effect of ALK-TKIs in rare ALK -rearranged tumors.
