We generated a new state-of-the-art mouse strain harboring the human EGFRT790M/L858R oncogene and MET overexpression (EGFR/MET strain) that mimics the MET amplification occurring in one out of five patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer that relapsed after treatment with osimertinib, a third-generation anti-EGFR TKI. This evidence concerns the gene MET and lung cancer.
