MET amplification correlates with poor prognosis and immunotherapy response as a subtype of melanoma: a multicenter retrospective study. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
This database analysis showed that the main type of MET mutation is amplification in malignant melanoma. MET-amplified solid tumors might be considered for targeted therapy, as MET amplification can be regarded as a risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients with tumors treated with immunotherapy.

Comprehensive Pan-Cancer Analysis of Oncogenic ERBB2 Fusions (AMP 2024)
Treatment of Ba/F3 or lung cells expressing MDK::ERBB2 with ERBB2 inhibitors (afatinib, poziotinib, tucatinib) blocked phosphorylation of ERBB2 and downstream effectors, and inhibited growth of both cell lines. ERBB2 fusions are rare oncogenic drivers that are candidates for targeted therapy. The subset of recurrent ERBB2 fusions with C-terminal/3' partners may represent an alternative mechanism of fusion oncogenicity.

IDH1/2 Mutations in Lung Cancer: A Closer Look at Their Incidence, Origin, and Clinical Characteristics (AMP 2024)
IDH1/2 mutations are identified in a small subset of NSCLCs. Our findings suggest that >25% of these mutations are hematopoietic in origin with important implications for diagnosis and management of these patients. Among those with mutations arising from the lung neoplasm, IDH1/2 mutations were primarily seen in conjunction with another driver and were subclonal in nature, suggesting patterns of clonal heterogeneity and evolution.

Utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for prognosis of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (SNO 2024)
Radiographic findings such as enhancing disease and contact of the tumor with the ventricular space were positively associated with CSF ctDNA positivity. Additionally, CSF ctDNA was associated with positive cytology in 12/12 cases (100%).With our improved pipeline, we hypothesize CSF ctDNA may be used as a prognostic biomarker for survival, but confirmation requires further validation in a prospective study.

Validation of Dynamic Deep Learning for the Prediction of Cancer-Associated Thrombosis (ASH 2024)
Dynamic modelling using a deep learning approach can be applied successfully to predict CAT. In the current use case, model discrimination was at its highest using a 7-day time horizon, even though longer time spans also yielded potentially clinically useful risk estimates. When appropriately implemented, this dynamic model may lead to adaptive and shortened exposure of therapeutic anticoagulation when patient’s temporal risk profile exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Clinical and Genomic Characterization of ERBB2-Altered Gallbladder Cancer: Exploring Differences Between an American and a Chilean Cohort. (PubMed, JCO Glob Oncol)
The prevalence of lithiasis seems to be higher in Chilean versus US patients with GBC. A similar prevalence of ERBB2 alterations of overall 14% and better OS suggests that a proportion of them could benefit from human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-targeted therapies. The smaller cohort of Chile, where the disease prevalence is higher, is a reminder and invitation for the need of more robust next-generation sequencing analyses globally.

Unique microbial signatures are associated with clinical outcomes of metastatic melanoma after immune checkpoint blockade (ICI) therapy (SITC 2024)
Finally, patients who died of disease in less than 24 months (n=45; 28%) showed enrichment of bordetella (21% vs. 8%; OR 3.11; p = 0.050) compared to those with more durable survival. Conclusions These findings highlight potential biomarkers in the TME, suggesting several directions for future studies to leverage large-scale genomic sequencing to identify microbial signatures that can form the basis of prognostication and targeted therapeutics.

Additional immunohistochemistry for p53 in patients with LADC histology in the Tokyo Medical and Dental University cohort showed a significant correlation between TP53 mutations and abnormal IHC pattern of p53 (Cramer's correlation coefficient V = 0.67). TP53 mutation is a potential marker for worse prognosis in surgically resected LADC; immunohistochemistry for p53 could be a surrogate method to identify patients with LADC with a worse prognosis.

RRAS and RRAS2 Mutations Are Oncogenic Drivers in Lung Cancer and are Sensitive to the Pan-RAS Inhibitor RMC-6236 (IASLC-WCLC 2024)
ERK1/2 (ulixertinib and SCH772984), MEK1/2 (binimetinib), and PI3K (pictilisib) inhibitors inhibited growth of RRAS Q87L or RRAS2 Q72L cells more potently than cells expressing wildtype proteins. Oncogenic R RAS/RRAS2 mutations were detected in LUAD at a rate similar to some other well-characterized lung cancer drivers, such as HRAS/NRAS hotspot mutations or NRG1 fusions. Our study supports the inclusion of RRAS /RRAS2 into routine molecular diagnostic protocols for precision oncology and clinical development of pan-RAS inhibitors, such as RMC-6236, for patients with these driver mutations in order to fully realize the potential benefit of RAS-targeted therapies.

Utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a molecular biomarker in the phase II trial of imatinib plus binimetinib in patients with treatment-naïve, advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) (ESMO 2024)
In newly diagnosed advanced GIST, ctDNA detection rate of the GIST genotype was low and inversely correlated with duration of rx exposure. However, ctDNA responses proceed radiographic responses, which may be further exploited for non-invasive monitoring of rx response and emerging therapeutic resistance mutations.

Concordance of PI3K-AKT pathway alterations between tumor and ctDNA in metastatic breast cancer (ESMO 2024)
Considering the recent approval of capivasertib for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) harboring PI3K-AKT pathway alts based on tissue NGS, we assessed the concordance of tissue and ctDNA NGS for PIK3CA, AKT1, PTEN as well as ESR1. We identified 367 HR+/HER2- MBC pts treated at MSK with tissue NGS by MSK-IMPACT within 60 days of ctDNA NGS by either Guardant360 or MSK-ACCESS, without intervening therapy... Tissue-ctDNA concordance for the detection of any oncogenic alteration was high for PIK3CA, AKT1, moderate for ESR1, and low for PTEN. More alts were detected in ctDNA for ESR1 and in tissue for PTEN, reflecting acquired ESR1 alts after estrogen deprivation and the current lack of ctDNA assay PTEN copy number loss detection.

Our study provides valuable insights into the understanding of age- and ethnic-driven molecular and clinical disparities in breast cancer patients. By unraveling the intricate relationship between genetic alterations and clinical outcomes, we underscore the potential for personalized treatment strategies in BC patients guided by molecular profiles. Nevertheless, further investigations are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that govern these dynamic processes.

Geographic disparities and emerging mutation hotspots in ELOCmutated renal cell carcinomas: a substantial expansion from previous descriptions (ECP 2024)
The addition of 10 new cases, alongside the previously documented 20, enriches our understanding of ELOC-mutated RCC’s clinical and molecular features. Our findings suggest a fivefold higher incidence in Japan (3.9%, 13/337 combining Mutographs and Sato) compared to other studied countries (<1%), unrelated to the increased prevalence of mutational signature SBS12 recently discovered in Japan. Additionally, our study uncovers four novel mutation sites within the ELOC/VHL binding regions, expanding the known diversity beyond the initial four identified sites.

A case of cancer gene panel testing for male breast cancer (JBCS 2024)
In addition, a study of comprehensive genomic profiling of metastatic mucinous carcinoma identified genetic abnormalities, including FGFR1 and ERBB2 amplification, which have been reported to be potential therapeutic targets. Although no genetic mutations were identified in this case, this data could be important in understanding the unique pathology
