Anyone have Myc amplification as one of their findings in nsclc adenoidcarcinoma. I’ve read nothing but negative things, even for early resected stage.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

@hnreinhart12, Sorry that I'm not familiar with MYC amplification. I have heard about MET amplification, but that's likely different (being one type of alteration to the cells when we develop resistance to targeted therapies).
Has your team altered treatment knowing that MYC is present? Or is it one of those pieces that we just don't know enough about?

They said it’s nothing of concern at this time, Due to the tumor being surgically removed. They said it’s a common oncogene and they don’t seem to be worried. I had my 6 month post surgery scan today. All clear! So good for the next 3 months.
