Analysis highlights the link between c-MET expression and immune evasion in non-small cell lung cancer, suggesting implications for therapy.

To explore the relationship between c-MET expression and the tumor microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Analyzed 25,674 NSCLC samples from various databases including AACR GENIE and TCGA.
Utilized AI-powered analyzers like Lunit SCOPE to assess TME and c-MET expression levels.
Performed spatial analysis on H&E and IHC slides from cancer samples.
2.9% of TCGA and 3.8% of GENIE samples exhibited MET alterations.
Higher MET RNA expression was observed in MET-altered tumors compared to wild-types (p<0.001).
Reduced tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte density was noted near tumor cells with strong c-MET expression, with significant statistical differences.
