Impact of Long-Term Structured Exercise on Body Composition in an NTRK Fusion-Positive NSCLC Patient Treated With Entrectinib. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
Despite an initial 13 kg weight gain over 9 months, split between fat and lean mass, subsequent fat loss (~3.5 kg) occurred while lean mass was preserved. This case suggests that prolonged, structured exercise is a safe and feasible strategy to attenuate entrectinib-associated metabolic effects and support physical function during targeted therapy in advanced NSCLC.

Identification of a novel PRUNE2::NTRK2 gene fusion in soft tissue sarcoma patients-friend or foe? Case series. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
Although NTRK-associated fusions are significant in various cancers and have led to the development of targeted therapies, such as larotrectinib and entrectinib, the specific molecular impact of atypical PRUNE2::NTRK2 fusion remains unclear. The PRUNE2::NTRK2 gene fusions described here express a non-functional TrkB protein, and it is unclear whether the PRUNE2 function is intact or affected.

TPM3-NTRK1 Fusion Cervical Sarcoma: A Case Report of a Novel Subset of Gynaecological Sarcomas and Successful Treatment of Recurrent Disease With Trk-Inhibition Therapy. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient remains stable with no evidence of local, nodal, or metastatic disease for more than three years following the initial presentation. This report aims to propose the use of larotrectinib as a management option for recurrent NTRK-positive cervical sarcomas.

Case Report: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with TFG-ROS1 fusion responds to crizotinib. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Importantly, we identified ROS1 p.K1991N as a potential acquired drug resistance mutation to crizotinib, suggesting that entrectinib may serve as a targeted therapy to overcome this resistance mechanism. ROS1 rearrangement could potentially represent a novel driver mutation in MPM, especially in female adults. This case report illustrates the benefits of molecular detection in MPM and underscores the potential for lessons learned from other solid tumors to inform treatment strategies for rare diseases.
