Article Synopsis
- * A study in Brazil found that out of 147 NSCLC patients, 8.2% tested positive for NTRK fusions via immunohistochemistry, with two cases confirmed using RNA-based methods.
- * The study revealed that NTRK fusions are relatively rare in this population and highlighted the effectiveness of RNA-based nCounter for identifying NTRK fusions in small biopsy samples, with a low concordance rate between different testing methods.
