Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive lung cancer, which you may hear called ALK+ lung cancer, is a particular type of lung cancer. It is unique in comparison to other lung cancers because the cancer cells have a change in the ALK gene. ALK+ lung cancer is more common in younger people (aged 50 and below), people who have never smoked, women, and people of East Asian ethnicity.1,2

People living with ALK+ lung cancer may have different needs and concerns compared to people with other types of lung cancer.1 Below we’ve shared some podcasts that offer some practical and emotional support for people living with ALK+ lung cancer.
