Abstract

The article by Rodig and colleagues, which was published in the August 15, 2009, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, helped detail the clinicopathologic profile of ALK-positive tumors and initiated the development of ALK diagnostics. Subsequent clinical trials utilized these findings, resulting in the approval of effective targeted therapies. The ALK story is a model for the development of therapies in the genomic era.
