Biomarkers of Targeted Therapy and Immuno-Oncology in Cancers Metastatic to the Breast.
( Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins , 2019 , Article)The breast is a rare site for metastases, and their molecular characteristics have not been studied yet. Intrinsic molecular genetics, cancer characteristics, and breast tissue immune responses in diverse metastases to the ... -
Comparison of the biomarkers for targeted therapies in primary extra-mammary and mammary Paget's disease.
( Wiley Open Access , 2020 , Article)Primary Extra-mammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a very rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma affecting anogenital or axillary regions. It is characterized by a prolonged course with recurrences and eventually distant metastatic ... -
Comprehensive molecular profiling of advanced/metastatic olfactory neuroblastomas.
( Public Library of Science , 2018 , Article)Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare, locally aggressive, malignant neoplasm originating in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB remains high and there are no specific treatment ... -
Molecular characterization of cancers with NTRK gene fusions
( Springer Nature , 2019 , Article)Targeted inhibitors of neurotropic tyrosine kinases are highly effective in selected patients with gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3. These fusions are consistently detected in rare cancer types (e.g., secretory ... -
Molecular Profiling of Clear Cell Carcinoma of the Breast Reveals Novel Targetable Biomarkers
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Conference Paper)Background: Although clear cell morphology may be seen in various subtypes of breast cancer, a pure variant of clear cell carcinoma (usually glycogen-rich) is a very rare primary breast malignancy. It is characterized by ... -
Molecular profiling of the metaplastic spindle cell carcinoma of the breast reveals potentially targetable biomarkers
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)IntroductionSpindle cell carcinoma is a rare subtype of metaplastic breast cancer (MBC), with triple-negative (TNBC: ER-/PR-/Her2-) phenotype. It is associated with a marked resistance to conventional chemotherapy and has ... -
Molecular Profiling Reveals Limited Targetable Biomarkers in Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Cervix.
( Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins , 2020 , Article)Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NEC) is a rare and highly aggressive cervical malignancy. Given that no targeted therapy has been approved specifically to NEC, we investigated the presence of novel, potentially ... -
Molecular profiling reveals novel targetable biomarkers in neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix
( Oxford University Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)Background Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix (NEC) is a rare cervical malignancy, accounting for 0.9% of all cervical carcinomas. Cervical NEC is a high-grade cancer with an aggressive clinical course and ... -
Novel targetable biomarkers in clear cell carcinoma of the breast uncovered by molecular profiling: A study of nine cases.
( Wiley , 2020 , Article)We profiled nine pure clear cell carcinomas of the breast using massively parallel DNA and RNA sequencing (NGS), in situ hybridization (ISH), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). All cases were primary mammary clear cell ... -
Spindle cell carcinoma of the breast: Rare cancer with potentially targetable biomarkers.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Conference Paper)Background Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare, metaplastic breast cancer (<1% of all breast carcinomas), with reportedly triple-negative (TNBC: ER-/PR-/Her2-) phenotype, associated with a marked resistance to conventional ... -
TERT gene fusions characterize a subset of metastatic Leydig cell tumors
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Objective: Metastatic Leydig cell tumors (LCT) are rare, difficult to treat malignancies without known underlying molecular-genetic events. An index case of metastatic LCT showed an LDLR-TERT gene fusion upon routine genetic ... -
Theranostic molecular profiling of pleomorphic ductal carcinoma of the breast.
( Wiley , 2019 , Other)Pleomorphic ductal carcinoma (PDC) is a very rare subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma of no‐special type (NST), characterized by the presence of highly atypical/bizarre (>6‐fold variation in nuclear size) and multinucleated ... -
Towards Molecular Profiling in Multiple Myeloma: A Literature Review and Early Indications of Its Efficacy for Informing Treatment Strategies.
( MDPI , 2018 , Article)Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common hematologic malignancy, is characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells. Despite dramatic improvements in patients' survival over the past decade due to advances in ...
