Popis: Abstract Non‐small cell lung cancer patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase or c‐ros oncogene 1 mutations who are treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib rarely develop crizotinib‐associated renal cysts (CARCs). Here, we present a case report and review of the literature supporting the hypothesis that CARCs may correlate positively with progression‐free survival.
