The authors report the successful assessment of LD-RT-PCR, a cheap, fast, sensitive, specific, and easily upgradable assay for routine detection of theranostic gene translocations and MET exon 14 skipping in thoracic oncology. It appears to be an excellent cost-effective alternative to FISH and to more expensive and complex assays such as RNA-seq.
