Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The oncogenic MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14del) is described to drive 1.3 %-5.7 % of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and multiple studies with cMET inhibitors show promising clinical responses. RNA-based analysis seems most optimal for METex14del detection, however, acquiring sufficient RNA material is often problematic. An alternative is DNA-based analysis, but commercially available...
