DNA Hypomethylation Is Not Cell Intrinsically Toxic to Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Deficient Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors

Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, Volume 65, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive soft tissue sarcomas and the most common cause of disease‐associated death for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. In the context of NF1, MPNSTs develop from benign premalignant precursors and the transition to malignancy is typically accompanied by loss of the polycomb ...

Mediastinal mass in an tuberculosis-exposed 2-year old child with neurofibromatosis type 1 – TB or not TB?

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2021
A toddler with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) was evaluated for tuberculosis (TB) after exposure. Chest X-ray (CXR) revealed a mediastinal mass indicating lymphadenopathy. However, magnetic resonance imaging showed a large plexiform thoracic neurofibroma.

Selumetinib as a Target Therapy in Progressive Paediatric Low‐Grade Gliomas—Case Series (pLGG)

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1499-1508, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) occur in 15%–20% of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). While smaller gliomas may be only monitored, the current standard of care for symptomatic ones relies on chemotherapy, most commonly carboplatin and vincristine.

Personalized Selumetinib Dosing in Pediatric Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Insights From a Pilot Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate selumetinib exposure using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas (PN), assess interpatient pharmacokinetic variability, and explore the relationship between drug exposure, clinical response, and adverse effects.

Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions Associated With BRAF and MEK Inhibitors: A Real‐World Analysis of WHO Pharmacovigilance Data

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 1, Page 274-285, July 2026.
BRAF inhibitors and MEK inhibitors (MEKi) have reshaped the treatment of BRAFV600‐mutant malignancies; however, cutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADRs) remain a frequent and clinically impactful toxicity. Although clinical trials provide insight into their safety profiles, real‐world data on dermatologic ADRs are limited.

Metastatic Testicular Germ Cell Tumor in a Patient With Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Treatment With Trametinib Based on NF1 Gene Mutation

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that increases the risk of various tumors. However, its association with testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) is rare. We report a case of metastatic GCT in an NF1 patient treated with precision medicine.
