Abstract:
The incidence of ROS1 gene rearrangement/fusion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is about 1%-2%. The advent of targeted drugs for ROS1 gene fusion has significantly improved the quality of life and total survival of NSCLC patients with ROS1 fusion; however, acquired drug resistance is still present in most patients after continuous treatment. This review has summarized the background of the ROS1 fusion gene, detection method, clinical efficacy of ROS1-targeted therapy, and strategy and prospect of drug resistance.
