Another EMT inducer, c‐MET, was overexpressed in half of the tumors (52%) examined in the present study, which corresponds to the frequency of other studies in NSCLC, but without differences between the N+ and N0 groups.21, 53, 54 In the present study, overexpression of c‐MET was mostly correlated with VIMENTIN overexpression. The gene discussed is MET; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
