Abstract

Non-small cell lung cancer patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase or c-ros oncogene 1 mutations who are treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib rarely develop crizotinib-associated renal cysts (CARCs). Here, we present a case report and review of the literature supporting the hypothesis that CARCs may correlate positively with progression-free survival.
