c-MET-positive circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA as independent prognostic factors in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer by Jieun Park, Eun Sol Chang, Ji-Yeon Kim, Chaithanya Chelakkot, Minjung Sung, Ji-Young Song, Kyungsoo Jung, Ji Hye Lee, Jun Young Choi, Na Young Kim, Hyegyeong Lee, Mi-Ran Kang, Mi Jeong Kwon, Young Kee Shin, Yeon Hee Park, Yoon-La Choi

“…Conclusions Monitoring c-MET+ CTC, rather than assessing c-MET expression in the primary BC site, could provide valuable information for predicting disease progression, as c-MET expression can change during treatment. The c-MET+ CTC count and cfDNA concentration could provide complementary information on disease progression in HR+ /HER2− mBC, highlighting the importance of integrated liquid biopsy.…”
