Journal ArticleDOI

EML4-ALK Mutations in Lung Cancer That Confer Resistance to ALK Inhibitors

TL;DR: The discovery of two secondary mutations within the kinase domain of EML4-ALK in tumor cells isolated from a patient during the relapse phase of treatment with an ALK inhibitor are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mouse model for EML4-ALK-positive lung cancer

TL;DR: The established transgenic mouse lines that express EML4-ALK specifically in lung alveolar epithelial cells reinforce the pivotal role of EML 4-ALK in the pathogenesis of NSCLC in humans and provide experimental support for the treatment of this intractable cancer with ALK inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Novel Isoforms of the EML4-ALK Transforming Gene in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: Two slightly different fusion cDNAs in which exon 6 of EML4 was joined to exon 20 of ALK were each identified in two individuals of the cohort and exhibited marked transforming activity in vitro as well as oncogenic activity in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome copy number analysis in screening for prognosis-related genomic regions in colorectal carcinoma.

TL;DR: The precise and large‐scale measurement of CNA and LOH in the CRC genome is efficient for pinpointing prognosis‐related genome regions as well as providing a list of unknown genes that are likely to be involved in CRC development.
