dc.description.abstractMesenchymal-epithelial transition exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutations occur in about 3%-4% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This is an aggressive subtype associated with poor prognosis. METex14 skipping is a potentially targetable mutation. Targeted therapy is a promising treatment modality for patients with advanced/metastatic METex14-mutant NSCLC. Performing systematic molecular testing to detect the driver mutation is essential for initiating targeted therapy. However, there is a lack of guidelines on molecular testing for assessing the eligibility of patients for targeted therapy. Therefore, a multidisciplinary panel consisting of experts from the Middle East, Africa, and Russia convened via a virtual advisory board meeting to provide their insights on various molecular testing techniques for the diagnosis of METex14 skipping mutation, management of patients with targeted therapies, and developing consensus recommendations for improving the processes. The expert panel emphasized performing molecular testing and liquid biopsy before treatment initiation and tissue re-biopsy for patients with failed molecular testing. Liquid biopsy was recommended as complementary to tissue biopsy for disease monitoring and prognosis. Selective MET inhibitors were recommended as the first and subsequent lines of therapy. These consensus recommendations will facilitate the management of METex14 skipping NSCLC in routine practice and warrant optimum outcomes for these patients.en_US
