Interpretation

MET amplification may be associated with sensitivity to MET inhibitors. MET amplification is associated with resistance to EGFR inhibitors in EGFR mutated lung cancer. MET alterations are commonly associated with papillary renal-cell carcinoma and it is very rare in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
