Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are known to be associated with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements. Other molecular alterations such as ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1), neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) have also been identified in IMTs. Although there are no randomized controlled clinical trials comparing chemotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), or other systemic therapies, the literature demonstrates the use of ALK-targeted TKIs as an effective strategy for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic ALK-rearranged IMTs.
