Gene fusions were detected in 58/471 (12.3%) colorectal carcinomas (CRCs), 4/69 (5.8%) gastric cancers (GCs) and 3/65 (4.6%) endometrial cancers (ECs) (ALK: 8; RET: 12; NTRK1: 24; NTRK2: 2; NTRK3: 19), while none of these alterations were observed in five cervical carcinomas (CCs), four pancreatic cancers (PanCs), three cholangiocarcinomas (ChCs) and two ovarian cancers (OCs). The gene discussed is ALK; the disease is cholangiocarcinoma.
