    Patient with mediastinal carcinoma of unknown primary with RET fusion achieves durable response with RET inhibition. (PubMed, Anticancer Drugs)
    The patient was initiated on selpercatinib, which was held after 3 weeks due to thrombocytopenia and hypertension. Pralsetinib was held during adjuvant chemoradiation for the GBM, and again for 4 weeks due to pneumonitis that resolved with steroids, and pralsetinib was restarted at a reduced dose. The patient has since demonstrated a stable reduction of the mediastinal mass for >15 months with RET inhibition therapy, despite several treatment interruptions.

    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.

    Tumor-Agnostic Circulating Tumor DNA Testing for Monitoring Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
    In conclusion, longitudinal ctDNA analysis using a tumor-agnostic approach is a potential tool for monitoring MIBC patients after RC. The implementation of this testing in a clinical setting could improve disease management and patients' outcomes.

    E4F1 and ZNF148 are transcriptional activators of the -57A>C and wild-type TERT promoter. (PubMed, Genome Res)
    Both proteins are activating transcription factors that bind specifically to the -57A>C and wild-type (at position 124) TERT promoter sequence in corresponding cell lines and upregulate TERT transcription and telomerase activity. Our work describes new regulators of TERT gene expression with possible roles in cancer.

    DNA Methylation-Based Classification of Hairy Cell Leukemia and Splenic B Cell Lymphoma (ASH 2023)
    In summary, we have developed a DNA methylation-based classifier that resolves 4 SBLPN subgroups with distinct molecular features, and reclassifies a subset of SMZL and HCL patients, adding further information to the updated WHO/ICC entities. We reveal distinct biological pathways operating in M-SBLPN subgroups that may aid targeted therapy approaches.

    An Unusual Case of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma With Biallelic MEN1 Variants In a Patient With MEN1 (ENDO 2023)
    PTC in MEN1 has been rarely reported in the literature [1]. However, per our knowledge, this is the first report of a PTC with second-hit in the MEN1 gene. Somatic MEN1 pathogenic variants have been reported in occasional cases of thyroid oncocytic tumors and NRAS is more frequently associated with follicular or oncocytic thyroid tumors.

    Gene mutations along more advanced phases of the proposed FEL pathogenetic pathway in GJFA are unusual, and suggest a mechanism for more aggressive growth in these tumours.

    TERT Promoter Mutation c.-124C>T Commonly Occurs in Low-Grade Fibromatosis-like Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma. (PubMed, Arch Pathol Lab Med)
    In conjunction with previous data of metaplastic (spindle cell) carcinoma with and without fibromatosis-like morphology, FLMC is most likely distinguished by TERT promoter mutation. Thus, our data support the notion of a distinct subgroup within low-grade metaplastic breast cancer with spindle cell morphology and associated TERT mutations.

    Molecular Characterization of Well Differentiated Squamous Cell Carcinoma with Verrucoid Features, So-Called Barnaculate Carcinoma: Identification of Mutations in Promoter Region of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) And HRAS gene (USCAP 2023)
    Although the findings are preliminary due to limited case numbers, the identification of these mutations may be a useful adjunct to the diagnosis of barnaculate carcinoma. Additional studies including more cases will be needed to validate the study results and identify tumorigenic roles and clinical significance of these mutations.

    TERT Promoter Mutations and Telomerase in Melanoma. (PubMed, J Oncol)
    Recently, it has been shown that TERT promoter mutations are more correlated with the occurrence, development, invasion, and metastasis of melanoma, as well as emerging approaches such as the therapeutic potential of chemical inhibition of TERT promoter mutations, direct telomerase inhibitors, combined targeted therapy, and immunotherapies. In this review, we describe the latest advances in the role of TERT promoter mutations and telomerase in promoting the occurrence, development, and poor prognosis of melanoma and discuss the clinical significance of the TERT promoter and telomerase in the treatment of melanoma.

    Wilms tumor and pure erythroid leukemia arising from the same clone in an adolescent (AACR 2022)
    Kidney and hematopoietic tissue both arise from the embryonic mesoderm suggesting that the earliest alterations occurred in this tissue. The contribution of each shared pathogenic variant (TERT, BRCA2, 17p loss) to tumorigenesis and the role of chemotherapy in PEL development are still under investigation.

    [VIRTUAL] A Rare Case of Aggressive Ectopic Thyroid Cancer in a Patient With Graves Disease (ENDO 2021)
    Without specific guidelines for the management of cancer in ectopic thyroids, an individualised approach can be taken using the same therapeutic principals used in the management of eutopic thyroid cancer. Additionally, a finding of a normal thyroid gland or a benign condition in the thyroid gland should not exclude the diagnosis of malignancy in ectopic thyroid tissues.
