Abstract

Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung is a high-grade carcinoma. It is a very rare tumor, approximately 3% of all lung malignancies. Despite LCNEC responds to cisplatin-based chemotherapy prognosis remains poor. We try to identify positive cases for EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangement by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) as gold standard and its correlation with immunohistochemistry (IHC) in LCNEC aiming to find new therapeutic options for those patients.
