Figure 1 (A) Baseline computed tomography scan from case 1 showing large right lower lobe mass before crizotinib. (B) Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis on a central nervous system resection specimen with MNNG HOS Transforming gene (MET) (SpectrumRed) and chromosome centromere 7 (CEP7) (SpectrumGreen) showing MET gene amplification (mean MET copies per cell = 20.53; mean CEP7 copies per cell = 2.07; MET/CEP7 ratio = 9.94). (C) Computed tomography scan after 2 months of treatment with crizotinib showing a near-complete response to therapy.
