The NGS of both the primary and metastatic lesions revealed the co-alteration of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), RB transcriptional corepressor 1 (RB1), and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MAP3K1), which is potentially associated with the risk of renal metastasis in early postoperative non-small cell lung cancer. This evidence concerns the gene MAP3K1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
