Clinical utility of cell-free DNA for the detection of ALK fusions and genomic mechanisms of ALK inhibitor resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of cfDNA detected ALK fusions, we demonstrate that comprehensive cfDNA NGS provides a non-invasive means of detecting targetable alterations, and characterizing resistance mechanisms on progression.
