Using a primary culture derived from a HER2-non-amplified MET (N375S) heterozygous tongue SCC tumor (NCC-NPC7), we confirmed the increased susceptibility to HER2 inhibitors (lapatinib and afatinib), but not to crizotinib as compared to a HER2-non-amplified MET wild-type HNSCC cell line (SCC13) (Supplementary Fig. 9A). The gene discussed is ERBB2; the disease is neoplasm.
