Positive news from here:
BUT!!!
While the ALK mutation is present in just five percent of non-small cell lung cancers, the most common form of the malignancy, “it’s a large absolute number,” Shaw said in the interview. Unlike other lung cancer patients, who are in their mid-60s or 70s, ALK-positive patients are about 50 years old on average and don’t have a history of smoking, she said.
I have already asked: what about the rest 95% who do not have the mutation?
