Abstract excerpt
MET amplification has been associated with shorter survival in cancer patients and thought to represent one of two major mechanisms for developing resistance to therapy with EGFR inhibitors. We retrospectively studied 99 patients who had non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and had at least two FISH analyses for MET/CEP7 at different time points during the course of disease. Four (4%) patients showed MET...
