Embryonic-type neuroectodermal tumors (ENTs) arising from testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) is a relatively common type of somatic transformation in GCTs with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options, particularly when patients develop disease recurrence or metastasis. Knowledge of key events driving this transformation is limited to the paucity of comprehensive genomic data. We performed a retrospective database search in a CLIA- and CAP-certified laboratory for testicular GCT-derived ENTs that had previously undergone NGS-based comprehensive genomic profiling during the course of clinical care.

An amplicon-based targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for the detection of gene fusions in sarcomas was developed, validated, and implemented. This assay can detect fusions in targeted regions of 138 genes and BCOR internal tandem duplications. This study reviews our experience with testing on the first 652 patients analyzed.

Pediatric orbital tumors encompass a wide spectrum of neoplasms, many of which are malignant small round cell tumors with overlapping histology. Sarcomas with genetic alterations are undifferentiated round cell sarcomas (URCS) characterized by rearrangements or internal tandem duplications, having distinct clinical features. Being previously unrecognized in the orbit, they have potential for misdiagnosis.

Background: The demographics and geography of Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), with few metropolitan centres and vast, sparsely populated rural areas, represent a challenge to providing equal care to all patients. This study aimed to compare rectal cancer care at rural and urban hospitals in ANZ.
Methods: From the Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry (BCOR, formerly known as the Bi-National Colorectal Cancer Audit; BCCA), rectal cancer patients treated between 2007 and 2020 were compared based on hospital location (urban versus rural).
