Here, we present a clinical observation that MET pathway activation constitutes the mechanism of acquired resistance to cetuximab in a patient with HNSCC. Specifically, RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis of cetuximab-sensitive (Cetux<sup>Sen</sup> ) and cetuximab-resistant (Cetux<sup>Res</sup> ) ...[more]
