Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Lung: Comparison of CT Characteristics of Patients with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Gene Rearrangement and Those with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation

Abstract

Adenocarcinomas with ALK rearrangement appeared as solid masses with lobulated margins at CT and were more likely to be associated with lymphangitic metastasis, advanced lymph node metastasis, and pleural or pericardial metastasis than were tumors with EGFR mutations.
