The MET gene is one of the key drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with various forms of abnormalities including MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutations, MET gene amplification, MET fusions, MET protein overexpression, MET activating mutations and etc. With an increasing understanding of the mechanisms underlying MET abnormalities, therapeutic strategies targeting these abnormalities have gained significant attention, and numerous studies have confirmed that NSCLC patients with MET abnormalities can derive substantial benefits from such treatments. The gene discussed is MET; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
