TLDR
The clinical outcomes with targeted therapies, aetiologic, pathogenic and clinical features that are associated with cancers harbouring oncogenic fusion kinases, including anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), ROS1 and RET are examined.Abstract:
In this Review, the authors examine the aetiological, pathogenic and clinical features that are associated with cancers harbouring oncogenic fusion kinases, the clinical outcomes with targeted therapies, and strategies to discover additional kinases that are activated by chromosomal rearrangements in solid tumours. Chromosomal rearrangements that lead to oncogenic kinase activation are observed in many epithelial cancers. These cancers express activated fusion kinases that drive the initiation and progression of malignancy, and often have a considerable response to small-molecule kinase inhibitors, which validates these fusion kinases as 'druggable' targets. In this Review, we examine the aetiologic, pathogenic and clinical features that are associated with cancers harbouring oncogenic fusion kinases, including anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), ROS1 and RET. We discuss the clinical outcomes with targeted therapies and explore strategies to discover additional kinases that are activated by chromosomal rearrangements in solid tumours.read more

TL;DR: Findings indicate that gene fusions may be one mechanism by which functionally relevant genes are altered in the development of MA, and help provide a better understanding of this genomic change and assist in diagnosis and classification of new subgroups/entities in metanephric adenomas.

TL;DR: It is suggested that transcript allele fraction is a useful predictor to find bona-fide therapeutic-targetable fusion transcripts in endometrial cancers, and may be a passenger aberration related to gene amplification.

TL;DR: It is shown that a small inversion within chromosome 2p results in the formation of a fusion gene comprising portions of the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

TL;DR: The inhibition of ALK in lung tumors with the ALK rearrangement resulted in tumor shrinkage or stable disease in most patients, and the drug resulted in grade 1 or 2 gastrointestinal side effects.

TL;DR: Crizotinib is superior to standard chemotherapy in patients with previously treated, advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with ALK rearrangement and greater improvement in global quality of life with crizotinIB than with chemotherapy.
