Second primary driver-negative lung adenocarcinoma following breast cancer treatment: a case report. (PubMed, Pan Afr Med J)
We present the case of a 60-year-old non-smoking woman previously treated for luminal B human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive invasive breast carcinoma with surgery, AC60 chemotherapy, trastuzumab, breast radiotherapy, and hormone therapy at the Mohammed VI Oncology Center in Casablanca, Morocco. The patient received neoadjuvant vinorelbine-cisplatin chemotherapy followed by volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) thoracic radiotherapy at 66 Gy, achieving clinical and radiological stabilization. This case highlights the occurrence of a second driver-negative primary lung adenocarcinoma in a non-smoker and underscores the importance of integrated histopathological, immunohisto chemical, and targeted molecular evaluation in distinguishing primary tumors from metastases, as well as the potential role of post-therapeutic carcinogenesis.

Targeted therapy in thyroid cancer: molecular alterations and clinical management. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
For cases lacking these specific markers, VEGFR-targeted multikinase inhibitors (e.g., lenvatinib) remains the standard of care for RAIR-DTC...The therapeutic paradigm in thyroid cancer is shifting from non-selective multikinase inhibition toward molecularly matched, combination-based, and adaptively sequenced strategies. Early and comprehensive genomic profiling-including fusion detection-is essential to optimize treatment selection, address resistance, and expand precision therapy options across disease subtypes.

Integrating Structured Expert Elicitation with External Evidence to Inform Earlier Reimbursement Decisions: A Norwegian Case Study of Selpercatinib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, Pharmacoecon Open)
The consistent cost-effectiveness results between pre-submission and post-submission phases support the potential of SEE to complement health technology assessment (HTA) and potentially inform earlier (conditional) reimbursement decisions for this single case study. However, future research should focus on refining SEE protocols for continued methodological development and validation to improve generalizability and applicability.

The correlation between fine needle aspiration diagnosis and postoperative histopathological results of pediatric thyroid nodules based on the Bethesda system. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
The Bethesda system provides high diagnostic accuracy for definitive cytological categories in pediatric thyroid nodules. Even indeterminate categories carry elevated malignancy risk, supporting careful surgical consideration and the value of BRAF V600E testing for preoperative risk stratification.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2: From molecular genetics to precision therapy. (PubMed, Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab)
This article reviews genotype-phenotype correlations, clinical manifestations, and current therapeutic strategies, including the use of selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In addition, we propose an algorithm for the treatment of advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma and metastatic pheochromocytoma.

Observed RET-Positive Findings Across Routine Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Platforms in Japan: A Nationwide Descriptive Benchmark. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
This nationwide analysis benchmarks how RET-positive findings are surfaced to clinicians across heterogeneous routine CGP implementations in Japan. The data support platform-aware interpretation of RET results in practice, but should not be construed as biologic prevalence estimates or comparative assay performance.

Performance of Seven-Gene Panel Testing for Risk Stratification of Thyroid Nodules with Indeterminate Cytology Results. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Depending on the Bethesda category, the positive predictive value for malignancy of the seven-gene panel ranged between 18.18% (Bethesda III) and 91.07% (Bethesda V), while the negative predictive value ranged between 93.92% (Bethesda III) and 24.14% (Bethesda V). In conclusion, molecular testing with the seven-gene panel can improve ROM estimation in cytopathologically indeterminate thyroid nodules, but its clinical utility depends on the detected gene alteration.

De novo mutation of the RET proto-oncogene revealing multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A: a sporadic case from Western Algeria. (PubMed, Gulf J Oncolog)
Systematic genetic screening and counselling are essential for the early diagnosis and appropriate management of MEN2A, particularly in sporadic cases. Broader implementation of molecular testing and genetic counselling in Algeria is recommended to improve patient outcomes and prevent transmission to future generations.
