Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MAP2K1 mutations are rare in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and considered to be mutually exclusive from known driver mutations. Activation of the MEK1-cascade is considered pivotal in resistance to targeted therapy approaches, and MAP2K1 K57 N mutation could be linked to resistance in preclinical models. We set out this study to detect MAP2K1 mutations and potentially targetable co-mutations...
