KIT mutation

This study is limited due to a small cohort and limited available clinical data. Larger cohort studies and prospective clinical trials are necessary to validate and explore the interplay between molecular and immune biomarkers as well as general biological mechanism in paving therapeutic way in melanoma.

This study revealed that patients aged ≥50 years displayed more complex genetic aberration profiles and experienced significantly poorer prognoses compared to their younger counterparts. These findings provided novel insights for optimizing treatment strategies for middle-aged and elderly AML patients in the Chinese population.

No recurrence or metastasis occurred within 9 months of follow-up. This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of cutaneous sarcomas in the head and neck region and highlights the necessity of a multimodal approach for an accurate diagnosis.

Targeted therapy with avapritinib and ruxolitinib was initiated but yielded limited response. Given the consistent co-occurrence of KIT mutations in previously reported similar cases, we propose the recognition of a distinct disease entity: ovarian germ cell tumor/mastocytosis with KIT mutations. This report emphasizes the importance of early genetic profiling and multidisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing and managing rare, genetically unified malignancies in pediatric oncology.

In vitro modeling demonstrated that EML4::NTRK3 confers imatinib resistance, while sensitizing GIST cells to NTRK inhibitors. This first reported instance of an NTRK fusion as a secondary event in GIST progression underscores the importance of testing for NTRK alterations in tumors that have developed resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors to ensure patients are offered all available therapeutic options.

While imatinib revolutionized first-line therapy, resistance and specific mutation profiles necessitate subsequent generations of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Second- and third-generation TKIs have transformed the management of advanced GIST, extending survival and offering mutation-specific precision therapy. Ongoing research into resistance mechanisms, combination strategies, and novel inhibitors promises further optimization of patient-centered care.

Furthermore, patients with high serum IgG levels experienced significant therapeutic benefits. Our data show that local adaptive immunity dominated by TLS is a key factor in the efficacy of targeted therapy, and suggest that inducing IgG could be a feasible strategy for improving the prognosis of patients with GIST.

The overall survival of MDS patients with ASXL1mut is poor. The patients with p.Gly646fs sequence mutation have a higher proportion of bone marrow blasts and a worse prognosis. There are no statistical differences in efficacy of different treatment strategies in ASXL1mut group. ASXL1 mutation shows no significant effect on the response of MDS to hypomethylating agent therapy.

Western blot and qRT-PCR tests validated these genes in GIST-T1 cells, and ssGSEA analysis indicated a significant relationship between these hub genes and immune cell infiltration. This study revealed a set of novel signature genes with high diagnostic value, offering promising targets for the diagnosis and treatment of GIST.

In patients with CBF-AML, the addition of dasatinib to intensive chemotherapy failed to improve survival outcomes. The addition of dasatinib was associated with an increase in toxicity. This trial was registered at www.

Vaginal and vulvar melanoma have a poor prognosis. Extensive surgery with anterior or posterior pelvectomy shoud only be performed to obtained free margin with caution in well selected patient. Radiological lymph node should contraindicate primary surgical strategy. Neodjuvant immunotherapy could help to obtained free margin in patient with high risk of invaded margin, these patients should be included in randomized controlled clinical trials.

It suggests that avapritinib may bridge therapeutic gaps for atypical KIT-mutant systemic mastocytosis with associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN) that is ineligible for Allo-HSCT or relapsed. Prospective trials are warranted to validate its efficacy, optimize dosing, and explore synergies with Allo-HSCT, offering new strategies for these high-risk patients.
