    Journal, Tumor Mutational Burden, IO biomarker:  Lorlatinib and compound mutations in ALK+ large-cell neuroendocrine lung carcinoma: a case report. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 2, 2022   
    Despite early progression within 3 mo under crizotinib, a durable response was achieved with alectinib...Another rebiopsy revealed ALK:p.L1196M, but the tumor did not respond to brigatinib or carboplatin/pemetrexed, before stabilization under lorlatinib...Lorlatinib retained efficacy in the heavily pretreated setting, while its upfront use could possibly have prevented the stepwise emergence of compound ALK mutations. Furthermore, the disease course was more aggressive and OS shorter compared to the V2/TP53wt ALK+ lung adenocarcinoma, while crizotinib, ceritinib and brigatinib did not confer the benefit expected according to NGS results, which also underline the need for more potent drugs against ALK in the high-risk setting of neuroendocrine histology.

    When limited to fusion genes, as of June 2022, crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, and lorlatinib are approved for the ALK fusion gene; crizotinib and entrectinib for the ROS1 fusion gene; selpercatinib for the RET fusion gene; entrectinib and larotrectinib for the NTRK fusion gene have been approved in Japan. This article summarizes the therapeutic development of each fusion gene mutation, as well as the therapeutic outcomes and adverse events of the approved drugs.

    Primary Intraosseous Rhabdomyosarcoma: Report of Two Cases () -  Oct 24, 2022 - Abstract #AMP2022AMP_523;    
    RMS are malignant mesenchymal tumors with skeletal muscle differentiation, currently classified into embryonal, alveolar, pleomorphic, and spindle/sclerosing types. Recent advances in molecular diagnostics have led to identification of a rare type of RMS defined by a recurrent genomic abnormality and distinct clinicopathologic features.

    Journal:  A novel intergenic region ALK fusion is targetable by alectinib in a non-small cell lung cancer patient with brain metastasis. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 20, 2022   
    Given the increasing application of the ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), it is extremely crucial to define the patients who could be suitable for this treatment in clinic. The present case has provided supporting evidence that noncanonical ALK rearrangements on the genomic level are often functionally relevant and targetable by ALK-TKI, particularly in cases with sub-optimal quantity and quality for RNA validation.
