Abstract

The detection of driver gene mutations has become essential for lung cancer; however, insufficient sample sizes make gene panel tests difficult to use. We previously reported that the lung cancer compact panel TM (LCCP) could detect EGFR and MET gene mutations with sputum cytology. To date, the detection of gene mutation using RNA from sputum samples is considered practically difficult. We report a case in which the EML4-ALK fusion gene was successfully detected from a sputum sample using the LCCP that was just released in Japan as a new next-generation sequencing lung cancer panel, CDx.
