Intra-arterial Melphalan for Neurologic Non-Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis [PDF]
Histiocytic neoplasms are rare hematologic disorders characterized by pathologic infiltration of activated histiocytes in affected tissues. The treatment of histiocytic neoplasms, including Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and non-LCH, has advanced in recent years owing to targeted kinase inhibitors (BRAF and MEK) as patients with somatic mutations ...

MEK Inhibition with Trametinib in Patients with Non-Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Background: Activation of the MAPK pathway through BRAF mutations or other molecular alterations is a hallmark of the non-Lagerhans cell histiocytosis (non-LCH) such Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). Conventional clinical molecular testing of tumor tissue fails to identify targetable molecular alteration in about one third ...
