Popis: Abstract Background The clinicopathological features of MET‐amplified gastric cancer (GC) and real‐world data on the efficacy of MET‐targeted therapies remain unknown. Pulmonary lymphangitis carcinomatosis (PLC) is a peculiar manifestation of GC, whose management has not been thoroughly described. Methods This study analyzed patients diagnosed with MET‐amplified GC or GC with PLC at any time point of the disease course from 2011 to 2021 in two centers. Clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of MET‐amplified GC were analyzed. The clinical and molecular implications of GC with PLC were discussed. Results Fifty‐eight patients with MET‐amplified GC and 20 patients with GC accompanied by PLC were finally enrolled for analysis (including 13 overlapped patients). GC with PLC was more common in female patients (p = 0.010), diagnosed at a younger age (p = 0.002), presented with a higher baseline ECOG PS (p = 0.016), and was more likely to develop lung metastasis (p
