ABSTRACT Molecular diagnostics have become an important adjunct to ultrasonography and fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) for thyroid nodules, especially in Bethesda III/IV cytology where malignancy risk is uncertain. This narrative review summarizes the diagnostic and prognostic value of key genomic drivers (BRAF V600E, RAS, RET, TERT, and selected fusions)

Next-generation sequencing of prostate cancer: genomic and pathway alterations, potential actionability patterns, and relative rate of use of clinical-grade testing. [PDF]
Despite being one of the most common cancers, treatment options for prostate cancer are limited. Novel approaches for advanced disease are needed. We evaluated the relative rate of use of clinical-grade next generation sequencing (NGS) in prostate cancer,

Infant High-Grade Gliomas Comprise Multiple Subgroups Characterized by Novel Targetable Gene Fusions and Favorable Outcomes. [PDF]
Infant high-grade gliomas appear clinically distinct from their counterparts in older children, indicating that histopathologic grading may not accurately reflect the biology of these tumors.

Finding More in Less: Precision Medicine for Pancreatic Cancer Using Residual Cytology Samples
The study evaluates the use of residual liquid‐based cytology (LBC) samples from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for molecular analysis. It shows that LBC samples preserve nucleic acid quality and remain suitable for next‐generation sequencing (NGS) and MSI testing even after prolonged storage, underscoring their value when other samples are ...

Glioneuronal tumor with ATRX alteration, kinase fusion and anaplastic features (GTAKA):a molecularly distinct brain tumor type with recurrent NTRK gene fusions [PDF]
Glioneuronal tumors are a heterogenous group of CNS neoplasms that can be challenging to accurately diagnose. Molecular methods are highly useful in classifying these tumors—distinguishing precise classes from their histological mimics and identifying ...

Molecular pathology of phyllodes tumours of the breast—much more than MED12
Phyllodes tumours can develop from fibroadenomas bearing MED12 variants by the development of pTERT alterations (“MED12 pathway”) or de novo (“MED12 independent pathway”). Grade progression is associated with increasing genetic complexity including cancer driver gene aberrations. Molecular alterations can be useful in assigning grade and distinguishing

Larotrectinib efficacy and safety in TRK fusion cancer: An expanded clinical dataset showing consistency in an age and tumor agnostic approach [PDF]
Background: TRK fusion cancer results from gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3. Larotrectinib, the first selective TRK inhibitor, has demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 75% with a favorable safety profile in the first 55 ...
