ROS1 fusions can be identified across a range of malignancies and confer a high level of sensitivity to ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Herein, the authors discuss the non-malignant and malignant biology of ROS1, the diagnostic approaches to identifying ROS1 fusions and the current therapeutic concepts relating to ROS1 fusion-positive cancers, including the resistance mechanisms that have emerged with current ROS1 inhibitors.
