    First case report of a novel KIF13A-ALK fusion in a lung adenocarcinoma patient and response to alectinib with a 4-year follow-up. (PubMed, Front Genet)
    Initially undergoing chemotherapy and then crizotinib, she achieved a partial response (PR) before progressing with multiple bone metastases. This report of a KIF13A-ALK fusion case benefit significantly from alectinib with extensive follow-up. The case diversifies the array of ALK fusion partners and holds clinical relevance in refining therapeutic choices for KIF13A-ALK fusion-associated lung cancer.
