Urothelial Carcinoma With a Novel MET Exon 14 Skipping Alteration

This case broadens the spectrum of MET exon 14 skipping events in UC by documenting a novel intronic c.2942-22_2942-19delCTTT alteration in plasmacytoid carcinoma. It underscores the importance of routine genomic profiling in advanced and histologically rare UC to uncover targetable alterations and supports consideration of MET-directed therapies or enrollment in tumor-agnostic trials for selected patients, while highlighting the need for further functional and clinical validation.

Abstract

This case broadens the spectrum of MET exon 14 skipping events in UC by documenting a novel intronic c.2942-22_2942-19delCTTT alteration in plasmacytoid carcinoma. It underscores the importance of routine genomic profiling in advanced and histologically rare UC to uncover targetable alterations and supports consideration of MET-directed therapies or enrollment in tumor-agnostic trials for selected patients, while highlighting the need for further functional and clinical validation.
