Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has an excellent prognosis, but few cases are treatment-resistant. To check the applicability of combined and MEK-targeted therapy, the current study correlated with the MAPK pathway activation status in a cohort of PTCs. The prognostic relevance of and the usability of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for detecting the mutation were also assessed.

Background: Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) have an overall survival of over 90%; however, patients harboring a BRAF alteration may have worse outcomes, particularly when treated with classic chemotherapy. Combined BRAF/MEK inhibition following incomplete resection demonstrated improved outcome in BRAF altered pLGG compared to combined carboplatin/vincristine chemotherapy and is now considered the standard FDA-approved treatment for this group of tumors. The aim herein was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of single agent BRAF inhibitor treatment in BRAF altered pLGG.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with BRAF V600E mutations is responsive to targeted therapies, such as dabrafenib and trametinib. However, these treatments can lead to serious adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Herein, we report the case of a 75-year-old man with stage IVB NSCLC and a BRAF V600E mutation who developed severe CRS, manifesting hepatic and renal dysfunction, following treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib.

Background: Craniopharyngiomas are epithelial tumors derived from the remnants of the Rathke pouch, while Rathke cleft cysts (RCC) are benign cystic lesions originating from the Rathke pouch itself [1]. Rathke cleft cysts comprise 10-15% of the hypophyseal tumors, while craniopharyngiomas are relatively rare, comprising only 2-5% of intracranial tumors [2]. Both located in the sellar and parasellar regions and share clinical symptoms including headache, visual disturbances, and endocrine dysfunction [3].
