Article Synopsis
- Radiation therapy is important for treating advanced lung cancer, but it can cause a problem called radiation pneumonitis (RP), which affects breathing.
- A study looked at 80 articles to find out how doctors can use tests to predict who might get RP and to help plan better treatments.
- The study found that older patients and those with certain lung conditions had a higher risk of RP, and they suggested a checklist to help identify patients at risk before treatment starts.
MET exon 14 splicing mutations are new targetable oncogenic drivers reported in 3% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and have been shown to be more common in pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas (PSCs). This study sought to screen mutations affecting MET exon 14 splice sites in a large SC cohort of Caucasian patients, with a large adenocarcinoma cohort as internal control.We tested 81 patients with SC and 150 with adenocarcinoma for splice site DNA mutations leading to RNA splicing-based skipping of MET exon 14.
