A new study has helped to define MET amplification as a rare but potentially actionable driver for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The paper, titled “Crizotinib in Patients With MET-Amplified NSCLC,” published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, introduces a third means of defining NSCLC subsets that can be targeted with a specific drug.
