Abstract Background We analyzed clinical associations of MET alterations in the plasma of patients with diverse malignancies. Methods Digital sequencing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) (54–70 genes) was performed in 438 patients; 263 patients also had tissue sequencing (182–315 genes). The most rep...
