Article Synopsis
  • Developing targeted therapies for non-p.Val600-mutant melanomas is difficult, especially in triple wildtype (TWT) cases which represent 10% of melanomas and have diverse genetic drivers.
  • A patient with TWT melanoma exhibited a specific mutation, and although initially responsive to the MEK inhibitor trametinib, he eventually experienced disease progression.
  • The combination of trametinib with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, did not improve outcomes, highlighting the complexities of treatment resistance in this type of melanoma.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy is a validated treatment option for patients with advanced prostate cancer. Although PSMA expression is not limited to prostate tissue, little is known about its relevance to other types of cancer. Here, we present a case report of a patient with uterine leiomyosarcoma that is progressing while on immunotherapy and treated with Lu-PSMA radionuclide therapy.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is an indolent small B-cell neoplasm that may transform into a clinically aggressive disease, namely Richter syndrome, usually as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Besides, CLL/SLL encompasses an increased risk of developing other secondary cancers, including a variety of T-cell lymphomas, often of the anaplastic large-cell type or with a cytotoxic phenotype. Here, we report a small series of patients with composite lymphomas consisting of CLL/SLL and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), a hitherto unrecognized association.
