The patient underwent surgery and four subsequent courses of chemotherapy (Vinorelbine + Cisplatin). After eight months, brain metastases were discovered. He underwent radiation therapy, followed by receiving Ceritinib. After 21 months, cancer progression and the growth of brain metastases were detected. Over the next six months, the patient underwent three more varied treatments and received radio-surgery (cyberknife), but his condition continued to worsen, and new lung metastases were revealed.
Based on the Oncobox Dx results, a treatment regimen, including an ALK inhibitor, an angiogenesis inhibitor, and taxanes (Crizotinib + Bevacizumab + Docetaxel), was prescribed. The treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the patient's condition and a progression-free survival of 2 years.

Survival of our patient after developing resistance to ALK inhibitor was longer for 16 months than previously reported average survival for such cases.
