Background: The FGFR1 gene can be amplified in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SqCC). The aim of this study was to compare FGFR1 status with stage and matched primaries with metastases.
Methods: Cases with FGFR1 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing performed from 2000 to 2013 were evaluated for amplification status and clinicopathologic features.
Results: Of the 336 cases tested by FGFR1 FISH, 52 (15%) were positive for amplification. Eight (13%) of 60 N0 cases and eight (17%) of 46 N1 or N2 cases were amplified, with no statistically significant difference. Of the 24 cases with matched primary and metastatic tumors, 22 (92%) were synchronous and one (4%) had discordant amplification.
Conclusions: Frequency of FGFR1 amplification is similar in SqCC with and without lymph node metastases, but status in metastatic sites may be discordant from the primary in a small subset of cases, which may affect the decision to perform testing of metastatic SqCCs.

Tumor-agnostic US Food and Drug Administration approvals are transforming oncology. They include larotrectinib/entrectinib/repotrectinib (NTRK fusions), selpercatinib (RET fusions), dabrafenib/trametinib (BRAF mutations), pembrolizumab/dostarlimab (microsatellite instability), pembrolizumab (high tumor mutational burden), and trastuzumab deruxtecan (HER2 3+ expression) (all solid cancers). Pemigatinib is approved for FGFR1-rearranged myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms.

Here, we present genomic analyses of tissue biopsies and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from patients with one of nearly 20 tumor types treated with futibatinib in the phase I/II FOENIX study.
Patients And Methods: Eligible patients included those with ctDNA samples collected per protocol at baseline and/or progression on futibatinib in the phase Ib portion of the study for FGF/FGFR-altered advanced solid tumors or the phase II portion of the study for FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement-positive cholangiocarcinoma.

Background: Comprehensive molecular assessment of cancers could open up new horizons for novel therapies. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene amplification has been previously demonstrated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The current study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of FGFR1 gene amplification and its association with clinical and demographic data in a group of NSCLC patients.

Infigratinib, an FGFR1-3 selective oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown clinical activity in cancers with FGFR alterations. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of infigratinib and its major metabolites have been characterized in global populations. This study examined the PK profile of infigratinib and its metabolites in Chinese patients.

Colorectal cancer contributes to cancer-related deaths and health disparities in the Hispanic and Latino community. To probe both the biological and genetic bases of the disparities, we characterized features of colorectal cancer in terms of somatic alterations and genetic similarity. Specifically, we conducted a comprehensive genome-scale analysis of 67 Hispanic and Latino samples.
