102039-5
LaboratoryMET gene amplification in Blood or Tissue by Molgen
Definition
To date, the gold standard method to evaluate the GCN of MET is fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming more relevant to optimize therapy by revealing the mutational profile of each NSCLC. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8508248/]
