Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas (PSCs) constitutes a heterogeneous group of NSCLCs, which show poor prognosis even with aggressive surgical treatment and postoperative chemotherapy. The detection MET exon14 skipping (METex14 skipping) in PSCs suggests the targeted therapeutic opportunities with MET TKIs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We detected MET exon14 alterations using both targeted DNA- and RNA-based...
