Case report: Alectinib-associated intestinal ulceration and colitis in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer and effective treatment with Mesalazine

To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of intestinal ulceration and colitis induced by Alectinib. Although such adverse events are exceedingly rare, they require vigilant monitoring in clinical practice. Decisions on continuing with Alectinib should consider the severity of side effects, classified by CTCAE grade. For managing these specific adverse events, oral Mesalazine enteric-coated tablets appear to be an effective treatment option.
