Deskripsi

Fusions of the gene RET have been described in thyroid and lung cancers. Here, the AUs identify RET gene alterations, including known fusions, novel fusions, and rearrangements in breast cancer (BC) that are involved in the tumorigenic process and show the benefit of RET therapy in a recurrent BC patient carrying the NCOA4-RET fusion.
