Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MET exon 14 skipping mutation is a driver mutation in lung cancer and is highly enriched in pulmonary pleomorphic carcinomas (PPCs). Whether there is intratumor or intertumor heterogeneity in MET exon 14 skipping status or in co-occurring genetic alterations in lung cancers driven by MET exon 14 skipping is unknown. METHODS: We analyzed tumor specimens obtained from 23 PPC patients (10 autopsied and...
