MET refers to abnormal production of a receptor tyrosine kinase, beyond its normal levels, and is associated with tumour growth and progression. Hutchmed will present new and updated data from several studies in Paris at the European Lung Cancer Congress, which will take place between next week Wednesday and March 29. Tagrisso is a drug made by AstraZeneca PLC.
