2 Learning about Lung : How ALK+ NSCLC Fits In Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide in both men and women 1. In the United States alone an estimated 224,210 new cases of lung cancer are estimated to be diagnosed in 2014, accounting for 13% of total cancer diagnosis 2. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 85-90% of cases, and adenocarcinoma is the most common type of NSCLC % of NSCLC cases are driven by a rearrangement of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene 3. which is true or false Select from the options below.
