a, b Germline DNA from healthy volunteers and cancer patients, part of a Pharmacogenetics database with germline DNA derived from blood and with clinical follow-up data available, were sequenced with ddPCR using MET N375N (WT) and N375S-specific probes to determine the distribution and frequency of MET (N375S) genotype in Asian population. Graph (a) and table (b) showing the percentage and number of N375S + cases (heterozygous or homozygous) among healthy volunteers and cancer patients. cj Relapse-free survival (RFS) of patients with locally advanced diseases who had undergone concurrent chemoradiotherapy or surgery were analyzed with Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. RFS (measured from time of treatment/surgery to relapse) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (c), lung squamous cell carcinoma (d), lung adenocarcinoma (e), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (f), hepatocellular carcinoma (g), colorectal carcinoma (h), gastric carcinoma (i), and breast carcinoma (j). Subjects who have not reached study-defined endpoint were censored (tick marks) from the analysis (Data cutoff point: January 2018).
