ALK detection was performed on 2813 EGFR-unmutated NSCLC cases by simultaneous use of immunohistochemistry (VENTANA® anti-ALK D5F3, Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., Rotkreuz, Switzerland) and fluorescence in situ hybridization with the ALK break apart and the ALK/EML4 fusion probe (ZytoVision, Bremerhaven, Germany). The gene discussed is ALK; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
