BACKGROUND/AIM: The mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) receptor plays a key role in cell growth and survival. The MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutation occurs in 3% to 4% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and leads to prolonged MET signaling and oncogenesis. MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as tepotinib and capmatinib, are effective for METex14-altered NSCLC; however, their...
