Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) amplification is an important driver of resistance in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the combination of MET proto-oncogene (MET) and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has shown promise in overcoming this molecularly defined acquired resistance. Emerging data also demonstrate MET amplification as a resistance driver to TKIs-treated anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-, RET-, and ROS1-fusion NSCLC. Here, we review the literature on recent research progress of MET amplification as a resistance driver to targeted therapy in oncogene-driven NSCLC and summarize the progress of clinical strategies to overcome the resistance mechanism. .

Seeking Amyloidosis Very Early: Free light Chain Differentials and IGLV Gene Use as Screening Variables for Light-chain Amyloidosis in λ Monoclonal Gammopathies.
Br J Cancer Res

The John Conant Davis Myeloma and Amyloid Program, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Early diagnosis of systemic light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is needed because 25% of patients die within months of diagnosis. In patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) of the λ isotype, we explored the use of 2 screening variables: a free light chain difference of 23mg/L between λ and k and presence of IGLV genes that occur more frequently in AL.
Methods: Patients contacted us and we sent HIPAA release and consent forms for discussion by phone.
Stage-specific efficacy of osimertinib in treatment-naïve EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer according to baseline genetic alterations in circulating tumor DNA.

The impact of clinical stage on the effectiveness of osimertinib for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unexamined. We investigated osimertinib therapeutic efficacy variation between stage IVA or lower and stage IVB EGFR mutation-positive lung cancers, focusing on differences in pretreatment co-occurring genetic alterations in circulating tumor DNA. This was a secondary analysis of the ELUCIDATOR study, a multicenter prospective observational study in Japan that assessed the mechanisms underlying resistance to osimertinib as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.

Objective: This study assessed the impact of intrathecal pemetrexed (IP) in managing leptomeningeal metastases (LM) in previously treated patients with -mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We analyzed the clinical and survival outcomes of 50 patients with LM who received 50 mg IP after disease progression with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) treatment between September 2021 and September 2023 at the Hunan Cancer Hospital. Treatment response was evaluated based on improvement in neurological symptoms/signs and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores.

EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved clinical outcomes for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR-activating mutations. However, resistance to TKI therapy often develops due to secondary EGFR mutations or the activation of bypass signalling pathways. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can efficiently identify actionable genetic alterations throughout treatment.

Aims: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological cancer worldwide and its incidence is rising. The cornerstone of its management is surgical treatment with nodal staging. A monocentric study investigating the potential of the molecular biology method of one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) in sentinel lymph node (SLN) analysis was conducted at our institution between April 2016 and January 2018.
