Abstract

Moleculer target therapy with high specificity and little adverse reactions has become an important therapy for lung cancer. The identification of  EML4-ALK fusion gene in NSCLC represents a new molecular target. Many previous study demonstrated the correlation between the EML4-ALK fusion gene and the clinicopathological characteristic in NSCLC. Objectives: Identifying EML4-ALK fusion gene in NSCLC by Next Generation  Sequencing method and the correlation between the EML4-ALK fusion gene and the clinicopathological characteristic in NSCLC. Subjects and Methods:  A Cross – sectional descriptive study was conducted on 101 NSCLC patients, Next Generation Sequecing medthod were used to identify EML4-ALK Fusion gene. Results: 11/101(10.8%) patients have EML4-ALK fusion gene and EML4-ALK Fusion gene was correlated with age, smoking status and histology, but no significant association was observed betwen EML4-ALK fusion gene and gender.
