These findings suggest that CSF cfDNA effectively represents the genetic profile of gliomas and serves as a sensitive measure for surgical resection efficacy and patient prognosis, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive biomarker for enhancing post-operative management in glioma patients.

This is the first genomic molecular profiling study to report exclusively on early-stage NSCLC in Malaysia. The high prevalence of EGFR mutations observed, predominantly involved sensitizing mutations at exons 19 and 21, and was associated with the female sex, a non- smoking status, higher tumour grade, but not PD-L1 expression. Early reflex genomic testing is vital to guide biomarker-driven peri-operative treatment strategies for rNSCLC.

POEC and SEOEC represent two distinct tumor entities with significantly different clinical, pathological and molecular features. Accurate differential diagnosis is crucial for correct clinical decision-making.

Our findings underscore the need for further investigation into the molecular landscape of advanced endometrial cancer, particularly in the context of therapeutic implications. Combinatorial treatment strategies targeting specific molecular alterations, such as KRAS, in combination with other targeted agents or therapeutic approaches, warrant further exploration.

Ovary metastasis reflected advanced disease burden and surgery might be associated with improved survival in advanced stage. For genomic information, GEA showed genetic heterogeneity and a low level of genomic instability.

FTC tumorigenesis is driven by distinct molecular pathways, with significant heterogeneity between pediatric and adult patients as well as primary and metastatic disease. These findings underscore the necessity of molecular profiling for patient stratification and provide a strong rationale for developing personalized treatment strategies to improve clinical outcomes.

Recurrent alterations included NF1 (87.5%), PTEN (62.5%), and TERT promoter mutations (25%), with a single BRAF V600E-mutant tumor, while the classical +7/ - 10 signature was infrequent and MGMT promoter methylation was largely absent in GBM, IDH-wildtype. This study demonstrates that a substantial subset of pediatric and AYA HGGs harbor molecularly adult-type signatures, revealing the limitations of conventional histopathology and immunohistochemistry, challenging age-based diagnostic paradigms, and highlights the value of methylation profiling for diagnostic refinement, detection of targetable alterations in younger patients.

Smoking history was significantly associated with aggressive clinicopathological features and a poor prognosis in patients with PCa. Our findings suggest that smokers with PCa may receive greater benefit from the early administration of taxane chemotherapy in comparison to other treatment regimens.

This approach resulted in unprecedented survival outcomes: the 72-month overall survival dramatically exceeds the median OS of less than 12 months reported for advanced PSC, and the patient maintained a progression-free survival of over 37 months on combination therapy, surpassing historical PFS benchmarks. This case provides a clinically actionable framework for managing multi-driver mutated, immunoresistant PSC.

The genomic landscape of OCA is marked by frequent TERT promoter mutations and distinct mutational patterns associated with patient gender and tumor metastatic status. These findings highlight potential molecular subtypes, reveal pathways potentially driving metastasis (eg, involving MEN1/TSC2), and identify novel sex-specific alterations (MST1R, PRKDC), offering avenues for improved development of targeted therapeutic strategies for OCA.
