DNA mutations in cholangiocarcinoma: targeting IDH1 and other mutations Biliary tract cancers (BTC) are rare cancers with a poor prognosis, particularly at the metastatic stage, with a 5-year survival rate not exceeding 7%. Two lines of chemotherapy are currently recommended in France, with cisplatin-gemcitabine and 5 FU-oxaliplatin as first and second-line treatment respectively, allowing a median survival of approximately one year. However, many studies have shown that BTC, and more particularly intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, have a high somatic alteration rate (mutations, fusions, or amplifications). Some of these alterations are potential therapeutic targets. To date, only ivosidenib and pemigatinib, targeting IDH1 mutations and FGFR2 fusions respectively, are approved in France for pre-treated patients with these molecular alterations. Many other potentially targetable alterations are found in BTC, including mutations in genes involved in DNA repair, BRAF, HER2 and the recently exploited KRASG12C mutation. This review will focus on targetable mutations in BTC and develop the main molecules that can be used in BTC with these actionable alterations, offering new therapeutic perspectives for these patients, with the ultimate goal of improving their prognosis.

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to subtle early symptoms. Recent studies have provided a comprehensive view of GBC's genetic and mutational landscape, uncovering crucial pathways involved in its pathogenesis. Environmental exposures, particularly to heavy metals, have been linked to elevated GBC risk.

Unlabelled: QUESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE PRIOR VERSION OF THESE GUIDELINES WITHOUT CHANGE: TARGET POPULATION: Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) who have suspected low-grade diffuse glioma.

Question: What are the optimal neuropathological techniques to diagnose low-grade diffuse glioma in the adult?

Recommendation: Level I Histopathological analysis of a representative surgical sample of the lesion should be used to provide the diagnosis of low-grade diffuse glioma. Level III Both frozen section and cytopathologic/smear evaluation should be used to aid the intra-operative assessment of low-grade diffuse glioma diagnosis.

Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive bile duct malignancy with heterogeneous genomic features. Although most patients receive standard-of-care chemotherapy/immunotherapy, genomic changes that can be targeted with established or emerging therapeutics are common. Accordingly, precision medicine strategies are transforming the next-line treatment for patient subsets.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in young adults. This condition imposes a substantial burden on patients and their caregivers, marked by neurocognitive deficits and high mortality rates due to tumor progression, coupled with significant morbidity from current treatment modalities. Although surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy improve survival, these treatments can adversely affect cognitive function, quality of life, finances, employment status, and overall independence.
