Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with surgically resected non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)‑rearranged mutations. A matched‑pair analysis in completely resected ALK‑rearranged NSLC patients and those with neither ALK nor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations diagnosed at 11 institutes was performed between April 2008 and March 2019. A total of 51 patients with surgically resected ALK‑rearranged NSCLC were included. Women constituted 68.6%, and smokers 29.4%. The median age was 65 years. In matched‑pair analysis, disease‑free survival and overall survival did not differ between patients with ALK‑rearranged mutations and those without mutations. Post‑recurrence survival in patients with ALK mutations was longer than that of patients with neither ALK nor epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. ALK genetic testing should be performed, even in elderly patients with NSCLC. Favorable prognosis might be expected after appropriate treatment for patients with recurrent ALK‑mutated disease.
