Gliomas represent the largest group of primary brain tumors in adults. The astrocytic variants are the most common and the adult forms are histologically stratified into three malignancy grades. Of these glioblastoma is the most common and the most malignant; it has also been best studied by molecul

✦ Synopsis
We have previously reported the finding of MET amplification linked to double minutes (dmins) in a human glioblastoma (TX3095). Because dmins are found in approximately 50% of glioblastomas, 18 gliomas were analyzed for MET amplification. Three grade IV glioblastomas and one grade II astrocytoma showed amplification. W e could also localize the MET amplicon to dmins in glioblastorna TX3095 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Genes Chromosorn Cancer 1263-65 (1995).

## Abstract We analyzed __MET__ protein and copy number in NSCLC with or without __EGFR__ mutations untreated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). __MET__ copy number was examined in 28 NSCLC and 4 human bronchial epithelial cell lines (HBEC) and 100 primary tumors using quantitative real‐t
