NTRK fusions are validated oncogenic drivers of various adult and pediatric tumor types, including thyroid cancer, and serve as a therapeutic target. Recently, tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors, such as entrectinib and larotrectinib, display ...

Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusions are oncogenic drivers found in a few rare tumours. However, NTRK rearrangements are being increasingly identified in a range of soft tissue neoplasms. Recognition of NTRK fusion-driven sarcomas is

The NTRK genes encode the TRK proteins. NTRK fusions lead to constitutively active, ligand-independent downstream signaling. NTRK fusions are implicated in up to 1% of all solid tumors and 0.2% of NSCLC.

Use of Diagnostic Algorithms for NTRK Fusion-Positive Tumors in Pathology Institutes in Switzerland
In May 2020, larotrectinib (Vitrakvi®) was approved as the first tumor-agnostic agent in Switzerland for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with solid tumors that have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion.

TRK fusions are rare but targetable mutations which occur across a wide variety of cancer types. We report the prevalence of approximately 0.7% for NTRK‐positive colorectal cancer (CRC) by genetically profiling 2519 colonic and rectal tumors.

Background Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TrkA, TrkB, TrkC) are a family of tyrosine kinases primarily expressed in neuronal cells of the brain. Identification of oncogenic alterations in Trk expression as a driver in multiple tumor types has increased ...
