A few recent studies have investigated the role of ALK aberrations in breast cancer, particularly in the context of inflammatory breast cancer and triple negative breast cancers, however, the results have been conflicting (Fukuyoshi et al. 2008; Lin et al. 2009; Robertson et al. 2013; Krishnamurthy et al. 2013; Grob et al. 2012). This evidence concerns the gene ALK and triple-negative breast carcinoma.
