Each of these drugs promoted complete remission of the recent lesions...This case of a patient with EML4-ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer shows that sequential treatment with next-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including rechallenge, can induce profound remission even in heavily pretreated patients...
