Long-Term Outcomes and Prognostic Factors in Metastatic ALK-Rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with ALK Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Real-World Evidence from a High-Volume Thoracic Diseases Center
Background/Objectives: ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved outcomes in patients with metastatic ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, real-world data on long-term outcomes, prognostic factors, and treatment sequencing remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes, prognostic factors, and lorlatinib efficacy in different treatment settings. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 83 patients with metastatic ALK-rearranged NSCLC treated with ALK TKIs at a tertiary …
