Leena Gandhi, MD, PhD, director of the Thoracic Medical Oncology Program at NYU Langone School of Medicine, discusses the role of alectinib (Alecensa) in patients with ALK-positive non—small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Gandhi says that there is clear-cut evidence of the superiority of alectinib over crizotinib (Xalkori). Results from the J-ALEX and ALEX trials showed improved long-term outcomes systemically with alectinib, and in the central nervous system (CNS), as well.
