ERK signaling promotes resistance to TRK kinase inhibition in NTRK fusion-driven glioma mouse models
Summary: Pediatric-type high-grade gliomas frequently harbor gene fusions involving receptor tyrosine kinase genes, including neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK) fusions.

Entrectinib in children and young adults with solid or primary CNS tumors harboring NTRK, ROS1, or ALK aberrations (STARTRK-NG) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Entrectinib is a TRKA/B/C, ROS1, ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of adults and children aged ≥12 years with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors and adults with ROS1 fusion-positive non-small-cell lung cancer.

We identified both known and novel gene fusions in thyroid neoplasia, including several previously reported only in nonthyroid malignancies. Gene fusion–positive tumors were significantly (p < 0.001, annotated as ***) associated with florid chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, unlike tumors driven by somatic mutations or copy number variations.

Clinical characteristics and treatment patterns of patients with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors: A multisite cohort study at US academic cancer centers. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions are rare oncogenic drivers prevalent in 0.3% of solid tumors. They are most common in salivary gland cancer (2.6%), thyroid cancer (1.6%), and soft-tissue sarcoma (1.5%).

A CLIP on the Ear: Spitz Melanocytoma Harbouring a CLIP2-BRAF Gene Fusion
Spitzoid lesions represent one of the most challenging areas in melanocytic pathology. Many such lesions are characterised by key gene alterations including ALK, ROS and NTRK fusions. BRAF mutations are generally considered incompatible with the diagnosis of Spitz tumours. Here, we present the case of a spitzoid melanocytoma harbouring a rare BRAF gene

Radioresistant but Alectinib‐Responsive Isolated Intramedullary ALK‐Positive Histiocytosis
A 56‐year‐old woman with a history of C4–C5 myelomeningocele repair as a newborn and cervical syringomyelia presented with one week of rapidly worsening bilateral lower extremity weakness and numbness, saddle anesthesia, and bladder incontinence. MRI of the entire spine revealed a 1.5 × 0.5 cm homogenously enhancing intramedullary lesion at T7–T8 with ...

Comparison of NTRK fusion detection methods in microsatellite-instability-high metastatic colorectal cancer [PDF]
Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors have been approved for metastatic solid tumors harboring NTRK fusions, but the detection of NTRK fusions is challenging. International guidelines recommend pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC) screening followed

Background: Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions are oncogenic drivers. Using the Auria Biobank in Finland, we aimed to identify and characterize patients with these gene fusions, and describe their clinical and tumor ...

NTRK gene fusion testing and management in lung cancer
Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions are recurrent oncogenic drivers found in a variety of solid tumours, including lung cancer. Several tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors have been developed to treat tumours with NTRK gene fusions.

NTRK Gene Expression in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Background/Objectives: Since the discovery of oncogenic neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusions in colorectal cancer in 1986, their understanding has evolved, particularly in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) over the past five years ...
