The rare concurrence of pregnancy and lung cancer presents a significant clinical challenge. In younger patients, the presence of molecular driver mutations is more frequently observed [Citation1], but treatment experience with newer targeted therapies during pregnancy is extremely limited. Here, we present a patient who was diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and received treatment with the ALK inhibitor crizotinib during pregnancy.
