Abstract RET rearrangement has been proven as an oncogenic driver in patients with lung cancer. However, the prevalence, clinical characteristics, molecular features, and therapeutic options in RET-rearranged patients remain
unclear, especially in Chinese lung cancer patients. We retrospectively collected 6,125 Chinese lung cancer
patients who have been profiled using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The clinical demographics and
molecular features of RET rearrangement-positive patients were analyzed. RET rearrangements were identified in 84 patients with a proportion of 1.4% in our cohort. The median age at diagnosis was 58 years, and it
mainly occurred in females with adenocarcinoma histology. KIF5B-RET was the most frequent… More >
