Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Downstaged to T0N0 with Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy, Confirmed by Surgical Pathology: A Case Report.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive human tumor that is typically diagnosed at a later stage when surgery is not possible.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a solitary hepatic lesion and a pancreatic body lesion.

Case report: Diagnosis of NUT carcinoma of hepatic origin by next-generation sequencing.

NUT carcinoma is a rare subcategory of squamous cell carcinoma. The latter is primarily characterized by the fusion of the coding sequence on chromosome 15q14 with BRD4 or BRD3, both of which are acetyl-histone binding bromodomains. This tumor is often misdiagnosed due to its rarity and its histological similarity with other squamous cell carcinomas.

Pancreatic cancer presenting as bowel obstruction and role of next generation sequencing: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the leading causes of death. Presentation with colonic metastases is far less frequently reported in the literature and may be misdiagnosed as colonic adenocarcinoma. We report the case of a female patient with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma that presented with a sigmoid obstruction.

Cobimetinib Plus Gemcitabine: An Active Combination in KRAS G12R-Mutated Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients in Previously Treated and Failed Multiple Chemotherapies.

The KRAS proto-oncogene is involved in the RAS/MAPK pathway. KRAS is present in the wild type or mutated forms. The oncogene KRAS is frequently mutated in various cancers.

Potential benefit of treatment with MEK inhibitors and chemotherapy in BRAF-mutated KRAS wild-type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients: a case report.

This is the first case report of a 60-yr-old female who underwent therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer with fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX). Upon the progression of her disease, she was switched to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Per genomic sequencing, her tumor was found to be a KRAS wild-type and BRAF V600E mutation, which then warranted treatment with the MEK1 and MEK2 inhibitor, cobimetinib.
