The ‘Prostate Cancer Screening for People at Genetic Risk of Aggressive Disease’ (PATROL) study
Background Inherited (germline) pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants (gPVs) in key genes associated with increased risk of prostate cancer (PCa) now warrant more attentive PCa screening per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines—e.g., BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, BRCA1, MSH2, MSH6, CHEK2 and TP53.

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).

Using a multicenter Japanese colorectal cancer cohort from 25 institutions, we analyzed 1464 patients across all disease stages and tumor locations to determine the prevalence and clinicopathological features of MSI‐H/dMMR colorectal cancer. MSI‐H/dMMR tumors accounted for 9.4% of cases overall, were present in 22% of right‐sided colon cancers, and ...

ABSTRACT Somatostatin receptor 2 is expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We report genomic and transcriptomic analysis results of 163 NPC cases, demonstrating that somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) gene expression in EBV‐positive and in EBV‐negative NPC correlated with genomic alterations and an inflamed microenvironment.

Targeted Therapy, Immunotherapy, and Molecular Testing in Advanced Solid Tumors: A Medicare Analysis
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Biomarker testing and matched therapies are central to precision oncology, but their real‐world uptake and clinical impact among older adults with advanced solid tumors remain poorly characterized. This retrospective observational cohort study assessed biomarker testing and guideline‐concordant matched first‐line therapy

ABSTRACT This case highlights the importance of genetic evaluation during treatment in young patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Lynch syndrome caused by a germline MSH6 pathogenic variant was diagnosed during first‐line maintenance therapy, and pembrolizumab achieved a durable response in recurrent disease.

Rare single‐nucleotide variants of MLH1 and MSH2 genes in patients with Lynch syndrome
Background Approximately 5% of colorectal cancers (CRCs) are hereditary. Lynch syndrome (LS), also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is the most common form of recognized hereditary CRC.

ABSTRACT For carefully selected patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer, immunochemotherapy combining PD‐1 inhibitor with albumin‐bound paclitaxel and S‐1/oxaliplatin may achieve deep remission and enable successful R0 resection. Our findings suggest that this multimodal conversion approach could be considered in selected cases with ...

Characterizing Chromosomal Aberrations in Cells Deficient for Both ATM and MSH2 [PDF]
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and mutS homologue 2 (MSH2) are important DNA repair proteins that participate in DNA repair pathways to maintain genomic integrity. Mice deficient for ATM and MSH2 mice are viable.

Microsatellite Instability in Mouse Models of Colorectal Cancer
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is caused by DNA mismatch repair deficiency and is an important prognostic and predictive biomarker in colorectal cancer but relatively few studies have exploited mouse models in the study of its clinical utility ...
