A strategy combining DNA-targeted next-generation sequencing with RNA reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing, besides fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, may provide an effective and practical solution for correct identification of partner genes and fusion structures in the diagnosis of ALK rearrangements, particularly for non-canonical expression patterns of ALK fusion events. The combined approach may lead to more benefits for patients.
