Popis: The clinicopathological features and genomic rearrangements of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion cases have not been fully identified. Our objective was to explore the status of ALK in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens, to explore the relationships between ALK status and clinicopathological features and to identify genomic rearrangements via capture-based next-generation sequencing (NGS). We tested 9889 NSCLC specimens for ALK status using the Ventana anti-ALK (D5F3) antibody. Clinicopathological features were analyzed and genomic rearrangements identified using capture-based NGS in 76 ALK-positive cases. In total, 485 specimens (4.90%) tested positive for ALK. The positivity rate was higher for adenocarcinoma samples than for non-adenocarcinoma samples (6.03 vs. 1.47%; p
