    The diagnosis and treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC urgently needs to get rid of the dilemma of brain metastasis and acquired drug resistance

    The average age of patients with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC is 52 years [1], and they are in the golden period of their youth


    In addition, brain metastases are still a nightmare for patients.


    Therefore, the main reasons for treatment failure in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer are currently brain metastases and acquired drug resistance


    Leading ALK-positive NSCLC into a new beginning of 3.


    In April this year, the third-generation ALK inhibitor Borrena® was officially approved in China, and the first batch of prescriptions in China were quickly issued in June, which has benefited Chinese patients


    Professor Wu Yilong, Honorary Director of Guangdong Lung Cancer Research Institute, said: "According to the clinical research data published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the median progression-free survival (PFS) of Borrena® in the first-line treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC exceeded three years.


    Professor Lu Shun, Director of the Chest Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University and Director of the Shanghai Pulmonary Oncology Clinical Medical Center, also said: "The benefits of Borrena® to patients are beyond doubt.


    ALK patient education support project opens a new model of digital diagnosis and treatment management

    The diagnosis and treatment of tumors have brought a heavy burden to the medical field in our country, and have also become a topic of special concern to the country and the government


    Cancer treatment has gradually entered a chronic disease management model.
