Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant inheritance characterized by intestinal hamartomatous polyps and hyperpigmented mucocutaneous macules. Bleeding, bowel obstruction, and intussusception are the most common complications in PJS patients. Individuals are infrequently present for the first time with bowel obstruction secondary to intussusception.

Article Synopsis
- Targeted therapy using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) can improve survival rates for many patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but resistance to these treatments often develops.
- A study analyzed the genetic and epigenetic changes in 122 Vietnamese NSCLC patients experiencing resistance to TKI therapy, finding that 41.8% had specific resistance mutations, particularly in the EGFR gene.
- The research highlighted that the level of genome-wide hypomethylation was linked to how long patients responded to TKI, suggesting that liquid biopsies can help understand TKI resistance mechanisms and inform future treatment strategies.

Article Synopsis
- Population-specific profiling of cancer gene mutations is essential for better understanding cancer biology and improving diagnostics and treatment tailored to specific groups.
- The study used ultra-deep massive parallel sequencing of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to analyze mutations in 265 Vietnamese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional tumor tissue analysis.
- Although cfDNA testing had lower mutation detection rates, it still identified major mutations in key driver genes that were consistent with findings from tissue sample analysis, highlighting its potential for large-scale genetic profiling in populations with limited access to tumor biopsies.
