Multi-Cancer Genome Profiling for Neurotrophic Tropomyosin Receptor Kinase (NTRK) Fusion Genes: Analysis of Profiling Database of 88,688 Tumors. [PDF]
Simple Summary Neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) genes are known as oncogenic driver genes for various types of cancers. Because the NTRK fusion rate has been reported to be only around 0.2% of all solid tumors, it is necessary to determine

Dissociation Between Tumor Response and PTTM Progression During Entrectinib Therapy in NTRK Fusion-Positive Colon Cancer. [PDF]
Simple Summary We report a rare case of pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) in a patient with neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) fusion-positive colorectal cancer (CRC) who exhibited marked tumor regression with entrectinib ...

NTRK Gene Fusion Detection in Atypical Spitz Tumors [PDF]
Atypical Spitz tumors (AST) deviate from stereotypical Spitz nevi for one or more atypical features and are now regarded as an intermediate category of melanocytic tumors with uncertain malignant potential. Activating NTRK1/NTRK3 fusions elicit oncogenic events in Spitz lesions and are targetable with kinase inhibitors.

Clinicopathological findings of pediatric NTRK fusion mesenchymal tumors. [PDF]
Abstract Background While ETV6- NTRK3 fusion is common in infantile fibrosarcoma, NTRK1/3 fusion in pediatric tumors is scarce and, consequently, not well known.

BPI-28592 as a novel second generation inhibitor for NTRK fusion tumors. [PDF]
Aberrant activation of tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs) is a well-defined oncogenic driver for neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK)-fusion cancers, and acquired resistant mutations have emerged with clinical use of the first-generation TRK ...

NTRK fusions are extremely rare in bone tumours [PDF]
AimsBecause of the efficacy of tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) inhibitor therapy in tumours with rearrangements of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor genes (NRTK genes), there has been a surge in demand for NTRK fusion screening. To date, most studies involving mesenchymal tumours have focused on soft tissue tumours, and data on bone tumours ...

Prevalence and clinico-genomic characteristics of patients with TRK fusion cancer in China
Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase (NTRK) fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 were found in a broad range of solid tumors as driver gene variants. However, the prevalence of NTRK fusions in Chinese solid tumor patients is rarely reported.

Clinicopathological analysis of thyroid carcinomas with the RET and NTRK fusion genes: characterization for genetic analysis. [PDF]
Thyroid carcinomas exhibit various genetic alterations, including the RET and NTRK fusion genes that are targets for molecular therapies. Thus, detecting fusion genes is crucial for devising effective treatment plans.

A review of NTRK fusions in cancer
The family of the neurotrophic tropomyosin kinase receptors (NTRK or TRK) is a part of the transmembrane tyrosine kinases responsible for neuronal development. The members of this receptor family are TRKA, TRKB and TRKC and they are encoded by the genes NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3.
