About ROS1+ Cancer
- ROS1+ cancer is relatively rare, occurring in just 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer. The incidence is thought to be similar in other types of cancer.
- Biomarker testing for ROS1 fusions is recommended in guidelines for non-small cell lung cancer, but few other cancers, yet.
- Patients typically have adenocarcinoma NSCLC, a younger age than the average NSCLC patient, and no smoking history (a smoking history should not exclude patients from biomarker testing or targeted therapies).
- Oral targeted therapies are the recommended first-line treatment for metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC and have increased the survival of patients by years. However, these drugs eventually stop working due to acquired resistance. The mechanisms of resistance are not well understood.
