DOI : 10.5146/jcpath.2022.73 Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in Turkey and the world. Recently, increasing number of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)-related genomic and immunohistochemical biomarkers has been identified. The ROS1 kinase (ROS1) is an oncogenic driver and observed in approximately 1- 2% of patients with NSCLC. Identification of ROS1 rearrangement is mandatory to permit targeted therapy with specific inhibitors, demonstrating a significantly better survival when compared with conventional chemotherapy. This review is a discussion on the present and futuristic diagnostic methods of ROS1 identification and ROS1-targeted therapies in lung cancer.
