EML4‐ALK‐Positive Ovarian Cancer With Intracranial Metastasis Responds to Lorlatinib: A Case Report and Literature Review

ABSTRACT We report a case showing that lorlatinib is effective in treating EML4‐ALK‐positive low‐grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSO) with intracranial metastasis. This may be the first clinical evidence of LGSO benefit from ALK inhibitors, to provide evidence for the use of ALK inhibitors in more ova...

description ABSTRACT We report a case showing that lorlatinib is effective in treating EML4‐ALK‐positive low‐grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSO) with intracranial metastasis. This may be the first clinical evidence of LGSO benefit from ALK inhibitors, to provide evidence for the use of ALK inhibitors in more ovarian cancer patients with EML4‐ALK fusion and promoting new ideas for the study of EML4‐ALK targets in ovarian cancer.
