In this cohort, demographic, clinical, or radiological features did not reliably predict CDKN2A/B deletion. Several deletion-positive meningiomas were classified as grade 1 or 2, underscoring the disconnect between morphology and molecular grading. These findings support universal CDKN2A/B testing for accurate WHO classification and risk assessment.

Clinical Significance of MTAP Deletions and their Overlap with Concurrent Oncogenic Driver Alterations Including EGFR in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, J Thorac Oncol)

MTAP dels frequently co-occur with oncogenic driver alterations and can develop at time of osimertinib resistance. A patient with oncogenic driver-positive, MTAP-del NSCLC had a partial response to PRMT5 inhibitor treatment. This work could inform future trials of PRMT5 and MAT2A inhibitors.

Establishment and characterization of a novel cell line ICH-BCPALL-3 from B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia with TCF3::HLF. (PubMed, Hum Cell)

The cytotoxicity assay indicated that the cell line is sensitive to Aurora Kinase B inhibitor, but not to BCL2 inhibitor. This cell line is the first TCF3::HLF-positive BCP-ALL model without the t(17;19) translocation, facilitating research into leukemogenesis and the development of novel treatments for patients with poor prognosis associated with TCF3::HLF-positive BCP-ALL.

Decoding the genetic complexity in a pediatric case of B-ALL through long-read genomic sequencing and RNA sequencing. (PubMed, Cancer Genet)

Notably, the presence of NUP214::ABL1 identified a clinically actionable target, supporting the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib. This case underscores the critical role of integrated sequencing approaches in identifying cryptic genetic alterations in B-ALL for precise classification of oncogenic drivers and for targeted therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Comparison of Cytoplasmic and Nuclear MTAP Loss in Pleural Effusion Cytology: Correlation With Homozygous p16/CDKN2A Deletion. (PubMed, Cytopathology)

Our findings demonstrate that while nuclear and cytoplasmic MTAP loss are concordant in presence, staining patterns and antibody clone selection affect correlation with p16/CDKN2A deletion. Given that pleural effusion cytology is often the initial diagnostic step in PM, standardised MTAP testing protocols are needed to ensure reproducibility and minimise false-negative interpretations, rather than implying improved diagnostic accuracy.

MTAP Loss Correlates With Favorable Prognosis in HPV-independent, p16-negative Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)

Because MTAP is related to the methionine salvage pathway, various cancer cell lines with MTAP deletion have been reported to exhibit increased sensitivity to the pyrimidine analog 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)...MTAP deficiency is closely associated with homozygous CDKN2A and MTAP deletions in HPV-negative/p16-negative OPSCCs. Furthermore, MTAP loss may be a favorable prognostic factor in HPV-negative OPSCC, and this paradoxical phenomenon might be explained by the enhanced efficacy of chemotherapy with pyrimidine analogs.

BRAF inhibition increases TGFβ2 production and stimulates metastasis in mice with endogenous BRAFV600E-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)

While the BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 effectively reduced primary tumors and extended survival, it paradoxically increased sarcomatoid metastases...We conclude that BRAFV600E drives diverse primary tumors but only one type of metastasis and that RAF inhibition, while effective against primary tumors, may promote metastasis through TGFβ2-mediated EMT. Although RAF inhibitors remain promising therapies, their unintended role in enhancing metastasis raises concerns that may extend beyond liver cancer to other BRAFV600E-driven malignancies.
