RESUMEN
Current non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) management relies on genome-driven precision oncology thus shifting treatment paradigm towards biomarker-guided tumor-agnostic approaches. Recently, rearranged during transfection (RET) has been endorsed as tissue-agnostic target with sensitivity to RET inhibition. There are currently two selective RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors, pralsetinib and selpercatinib. The recent introduction of pralsetinib in the treatment algorithm of RET-rearranged tumor along with the mounting clinical evidence of pralsetinib durable activity from both randomized and observational studies holds the potential to disclose new avenues in the management of RET fusion positive NSCLC patients. Our narrative review aims to discuss the available clinical evidence on pralsetinib efficacy, particularly on brain metastases, and tolerability profile. In addition, our work explores the relevance of detecting RET fusions upfront in the disease history of patients with NSCLC.
