Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with oncogenic ROS1 rearrangements would inevitably develop drug resistance and disease progression after receiving targeted oncogene therapy. Here, we present a metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patient harboring a CD74-ROS1 fusion who initially responded to crizotinib and then developed resistance after acquiring a rarely reported BRAF V600E mutation.

Temozolomide (TMZ)-based chemotherapy is a primary regimen for melanoma patients who have failed targeted therapy or immunotherapy. However, the low response rate of TMZ-based chemotherapy challenges the patients' prognosis. BRAF mutation is the most frequently mutated site in melanoma.

Purpose: Precision medicine plays an important role in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. Despite its high incidence in White patients, advanced melanoma is rare in Asian countries, hampering prospective clinical trials targeting the Asian population. This retrospective study aimed to elucidate the real-world molecular diagnoses and outcomes of Japanese patients with melanoma using comprehensive genome profiling (CGP).

Summary: Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are rare brain epithelial tumours arising in the suprasellar region, infiltrating adjacent areas causing visual loss, panhypopituitarism, cognitive deficits and morbid obesity. Papillary CPs (PCPs) harbour in 94% BRAF mutation cases. Two patients with PCP and BRAF V600E mutations but with different tumour status were treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors.

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: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent malignancies globally, with a rising incidence observed in younger demographics. Despite surgical resection remaining the cornerstone of treatment, metastatic CRC poses significant therapeutic challenges. Immunotherapy, a mode of treatment that leverages the patient's immune system, presents a promising frontier in CRC management, particularly for late-stage cases with limited treatment options.
