“…The fusion of EML4-ALK (echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 – anaplastic lymphoma kinase) was identified as having a significant role in the clinical management of a small subgroup of patients (about 6%) with NSCLC, especially adenocarcinomas, who were non-smokers and young. ( 16 - 19 ) Some studies in this regard, ( 16 , 17 , 20 - 23 ) although yet with small number of patients, demonstrated that crizotinib, an ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, showed an excellent overall response (approximately 57%) to treatment in EML4-ALK-positive patients with advanced disease. ( 16 , 17 , 20 - 23 ) Thus, the role of EML4-ALK and of crizotinib seems to be promising within this context, although broader Phase II studies are necessary to establish, with detail, all these aspects.…”

“…A fusão do EML4-ALK (sigla em inglês para echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 – anaplastic lymphoma kinase ) foi identificada como tendo um importante papel na abordagem clínica de um pequeno subgrupo de pacientes (cerca de 6%) com CPCNP, especialmente adenocarcinomas, não fumantes e jovens. ( 16 - 19 ) Nesse contexto, alguns estudos, ( 16 , 17 , 20 - 23 ) embora ainda com poucos pacientes, demostraram que o crizotinib, uma molécula inibidora da tirosina quinase do ALK, apresentou excelente resposta global (aproximadamente 57%) ao tratamento em pacientes com doença avançada EML4-ALK positivos. ( 16 , 17 , 20 - 23 ) Assim, o papel do EML4-ALK e do crizotinib parece promissor nesse contexto, embora estudos mais alargados, de fase II, são necessários para estabelecer, com pormenores, todos esses aspectos.…”
