About

According to the 2024 edition of the NCCN guidelines and the 2023 edition of the CSCO guidelines, perioperative treatment is recommended for patients with stage IIIA and IIIB (T3N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Targeted therapies for NSCLC, such as EGFR inhibitors and ALK inhibitors, have been explored in the neoadjuvant setting. For patients with MET alterations, some have undergone preoperative MET inhibitor treatment, achieving pathological downstaging followed by surgery, resulting in R0 resection. Therefore, this is a prospective, cohort, single-center phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Vebreltinib as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with MET-altered stage IIIA-IIIB (N2) NSCLC.
