About RET fusion-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

RET fusion-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer is an advanced, oncogene-addicted malignancy originating in the respiratory tract that has disseminated beyond the lungs to regional lymph nodes or distant organs.

It predominantly affects adult lung cancer patients, often presenting in younger individuals and those with light or no tobacco smoking history.

Pathophysiologically, the disease is driven by genomic rearrangements where the *RET* proto-oncogene fuses with upstream partner genes (commonly *KIF5B* or *CCDC6*), producing an aberrant chimeric receptor tyrosine kinase.

This constitutively active fusion protein triggers uninhibited downstream proliferative and survival pathways, conferring an aggressive clinical course frequently characterized by early development of brain metastases.
