<h4>Background</h4>The c-met proto-oncogene (<i>MET</i>) serves as a significant primary oncogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has the potential to fuse with other genes, such as <i>KIF5B</i>, although it occurs infrequently. The gene discussed is KIF5B; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
