    Transdifferentiation of Secretory Carcinoma to Metaplastic Carcinoma at Metastatic Site. (PubMed, Int J Surg Pathol)
    Herein we describe a patient with secretory carcinoma showing transdifferentiation into metaplastic carcinoma (spindle cell and squamous cell carcinoma) at the metastatic site following treatment. Identification of these morphologic shifts is crucial for accurate classification and identification of potential resistant mechanisms.

    NTRK-rearranged spindle cell tumor with SPECC1L-NTRK3 fusion in the thoracic spine: a case report. (PubMed, J Cancer Res Clin Oncol)
    Following 1 month of entrectinib treatment, the patient experienced considerable tumor shrinkage and symptomatic improvement. For bone-derived NTRK-rearranged spindle cell sarcomas, entrectinib shows promising therapeutic efficacy and should be considered a preferred treatment option.

    Soft tissue tumor with BRAF and NRAS mutations sharing features with NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasm: A case report expanding the spectrum of spindle cell tumor with kinase gene alterations. (PubMed, Pathol Int)
    Since BRAF activation occurs in BRAF fusion gene tumors and BRAF mutations, they could share a similar mechanism in tumorigenesis. This case suggests the further expansion of kinase-related spindle cell tumors.

    Case report: STRN3-NTRK3 fusion in uterine sarcoma with spleen metastasis: a new variant in the spectrum of NTRK-rearranged tumors. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
    The fusion involved STRN3 (exon-3) and NTRK3 (exon-14) genes and was identified through next-generation sequencing analysis. Recognizing this specific molecular rearrangement is crucial, as it not only enables targeted therapy but also holds diagnostic significance in specific clinical scenarios.

    Re-verification and Report Ruling Revision of NTRK Fusion Results of Idylla GeneFusion Assay after Manufacturer Algorithm Update (AMP 2024)
    Our standard operating procedure (SOP) was updated to perform orthogonal confirmation testing for stand-alone equivocal NTRK1/2 and equivocal NTRK3 (5' failure), but to ignore equivocal NTRK3 (5' intact) and report as NTRK2/3 indeterminate. Re-verification showed no change to ALK, ROS1, RET, MET ex14, and NTRK1 results. Sensitivity of NTRK2 detection was significantly increased (80% after orthogonal testing).

    Actionable Structural Variant Detection via RNA-NGS and DNA-NGS in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, JAMA Netw Open)
    Emerging structural variants (eSVs) were found to have a combined prevalence to be 0.7%, with only 47.5% of eSVs detected by DNA-NGS. In this cohort study, the detection of structural variants via concurrent RNA-NGS and DNA-NGS was higher across multiple NCCN-guideline recommended biomarkers compared with DNA-NGS alone, suggesting that RNA-NGS should be routinely implemented in the care of patients with advanced NSCLC.

    Analysis of actionable gene fusions in a large cohort of Chinese patients with colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Gastroenterol Rep (Oxf))
    Actionable gene fusions are more prevalent in MSI-H, RAS/BRAF wildtype, or RNF43-mutated CRC, as well as in colon cancer. Mapping of these molecular markers can markedly increase the fusion detection rate, which can help clinicians select candidates for fusion testing and targeted therapy.

    DNA and RNA Comprehensive Genomic Profiling are Complementary for Detection of Clinically Relevant Fusions in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (ATA 2024)
    As demonstrated in our PTC cohort, DNA CGP and RNA CGP may be complementary for fusion detection in certain tumor types. RNA CGP complements DNA CGP by detecting fusions that cannot be efficiently baited on DNA CGP, while DNA CGP may complement RNA CGP by detecting fusions in poor quality (e.g., old archival) samples when RNA sequencing may not be not technically feasible. Clinically relevant fusions detected in this retrospectively profiled PTC cohort included therapeutically targetable fusion events (e.g., RET, NTRK, ALK) and a PAX8::PPARG fusion, which is suggestive of a follicular variant PTC.

    Epithelioid Fibrous Histiocytoma Is on a Continuum With Superficial ALK-rearranged Myxoid Spindle Cell Neoplasm: A Clinicopathologic Series of 35 Cases Including Alternate RET and NTRK3 Fusions. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
    SAMS is on a morphologic and molecular genetic spectrum with EFH, with a similar body site distribution, frequent clinical presentation as an exophytic skin tumor, and invariably benign outcomes; we conclude that SAMS should be considered a histologic variant of EFH. Some morphologically typical examples harbor alternate RET and NTRK3 fusions, such that SAMS is not an appropriate designation for this morphologic class; instead, to highlight the clinicopathologic similarities to EFH, we propose the diagnostic term "myxoid spindle cell variant of epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma."

    Comprehensive genomic profiling provides patients access to novel matched therapies in a diverse real-world cohort of advanced lung cancer patients (ESMO 2024)
    In a real-world, retrospective analysis of a cohort of advanced NSCLC patients, most oncologists utilized CGP to identify and treat patients with guideline-recommended variant matched targeted therapy, with adherence rates varying by variant. Importantly, even patients that received CGP results prior to FDA approval of novel therapies, received matched therapy once they were included in guidelines.

    Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Rare Entity (ENDO 2024)
    Tyrosine kinase inhibitors i.e, sorafenib and lenvatinib, have been used in cases of progressive, recurrent, or metastatic disease not responsive to 131I therapy. PDTC accounts for 3–5% of all thyroid carcinomas. The 5, 10-, and 15-year survival rates of patients are 50–85%, 34–50%, and 0%, respectively. RAS gene alterations are found in 25–35%, BRAF mutation in 15–27%, TERT promoter mutation in 40% and mutant TP53 in 16–28% of PDTCs.

    Predictors of radioiodine (RAI)-avidity restoration for NTRK fusion-positive RAI resistant metastatic thyroid cancers. (PubMed, Eur Thyroid J)
    Case Presentation and We report two cases with RAI-resistant lung metastases treated with larotrectinib: 83-year-old male presenting with an ETV6::NTRK3 fusion-positive tumor with the TERT promoter mutation c.-124C>T, and a 31-year-old female presenting with a TPR::NTRK1 fusion-positive tumor (and negative for TERT promoter mutation)...In contrast, the TERT-negative tumor exhibited successful I-131 reuptake with a TDS of -0.060. As observed for RAI-resistance associated with concurrent TERT and BRAF mutations, the co-occurrence of TERT mutations and NTRK fusions may also contribute to re-sensitization failure.

    The follow-up CT scan revealed peritoneal nodules suggestive of peritoneal dissemination, and Entrectinib (a TRK inhibitor) was administered...The present case may offer new insights into the potential introduction of TRK inhibitors as treatments for GISTs with NTRK fusions. Additionally, the presence of abundant lymphoid infiltration in the present case may prompt further research into immunotherapy as a possible additional therapeutic option.

    RAF1 gene fusions are recurrent driver events in infantile fibrosarcoma-like mesenchymal tumors. (PubMed, J Pathol)
    Our findings document that RAF1 gene rearrangements represent a recurrent event in ETV6::NTRK3-negative IFS/CMN and provide a rationale for the use of inhibitors directed to suppress MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling in these cancers.
