Alectinib is suggested as first-line treatment for advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, despite being generally well-tolerated, drug-related adverse events (AEs) like hepatotoxicity and cognitive impairment are still not fully understood. We report the case of a patient affected by stage IV ALK-positive NSCLC who developed hepatic toxicity and cognitive decline during Alectinib treatment.
