    Title translation Detection of novel driver mutations in liquid biopsy: case report of a RET-positive lung adenocarcinoma treated with pralsetinib.
    Abstract Advances in cancer biology research led to the identification of new molecular drivers in non-small cell lung cancer. These alterations should be searched especially in young and never-smoker patients, in order to ensure access to targeted therapies. In particular, RET mutations occur in 1-2% of lung adenocarcinomas and represent the molecular target of innovative treatments such as pralsetinib. The Next Generation Sequencing provides a comprehensive genomic profiling both on tissue and blood sampling. The liquid biopsy could be extremely advantageous, as it is a simple, non-invasive and repeatable test. We report the case of a non-smoker woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma unresponsive to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. RET mutation (RET-KIF5B fusion) was found by liquid biopsy. The patient started therapy with pralsetinib obtaining an early radiological response and a significant clinical benefit.

    Abstract Current non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) management relies on genome-driven precision oncology thus shifting treatment paradigm towards biomarker-guided tumor-agnostic approaches. Recently, rearranged during transfection (RET) has been endorsed as tissue-agnostic target with sensitivity to RET inhibition. There are currently two selective RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors, pralsetinib and selpercatinib. The recent introduction of pralsetinib in the treatment algorithm of RET-rearranged tumor along with the mounting clinical evidence of pralsetinib durable activity from both randomized and observational studies holds the potential to disclose new avenues in the management of RET fusion positive NSCLC patients. Our narrative review aims to discuss the available clinical evidence on pralsetinib efficacy, particularly on brain metastases, and tolerability profile. In addition, our work explores the relevance of detecting RET fusions upfront in the disease history of patients with NSCLC.

    Abstract Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) involves the local administration of high doses of anticancer drugs into a limb affected by unresectable locally advanced tumors (with special regard to in-transit melanoma metastases), minimizing systemic side effects. Tumor response to anticancer drugs may depend on the expression of apoptosis-related genes, such as SURVIVIN and MDM2. This retrospective cohort study investigated the association between tumor SURVIVIN and MDM2 expression levels and treatment response or clinical outcomes in patients undergoing ILP for in-transit melanoma metastases. The study cohort consisted of 62 patients with in-transit metastases who underwent ILP with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and melphalan. Tissue samples were taken from the in-transit metastases, and RNA was extracted for gene expression analysis. Patients' response to treatment was assessed using clinical and radiological criteria two months after ILP, and disease response was classified as complete, partial, or stable/progressive disease. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were also analyzed. Expression of SURVIVIN and/or MDM2 was observed in 48% of patients; in these cases, complete response to ILP occurred in 40% of cases, with the overall response rate (complete + partial) being 85%. Patients with expression of MDM2 alone had a lower complete response rate (28%), while patients with expression of SURVIVIN alone had a higher complete response rate (50%). The combined expression of MDM2 and SURVIVIN resulted in a complete response rate of 30%. Patients without expression (of SURVIVIN or MDM2) had the highest complete response rate (58%). Survival analysis showed that high MDM2 expression was independently associated with a lower probability of a complete response to ILP. In addition, patients with MDM2 expression were three times more likely to have an incomplete response to ILP. This study highlights the importance of considering SURVIVIN and MDM2 expression in patients undergoing ILP for in-transit cutaneous melanoma metastases. High MDM2 expression was found to be an independent factor associated with a reduced likelihood of achieving a complete response to ILP, suggesting potential mechanisms of chemoresistance. These data support further research to explore the role of already available targeted therapies (i.e., MDM2 inhibitors) in improving tumor response to ILP in patients with in-transit melanoma metastases.

    Abstract Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare angioproliferative tumor classified in four different clinical-epidemiological forms. The diagnosis is based on histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. The treatment is heterogeneous and includes several local and systemic therapeutic strategies. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study including 86 KS patients treated between 1993 and 2022 at the University Hospital of Padua (AOPD) and at the Veneto Institute of Oncology (IOV). The data were extracted from an electronic database. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression models were employed to explore associations with overall and disease-free survival. The male sex (89.53%), classical variant (43.02%), and cutaneous involvement (77.9%) were predominant. More than 61.6% of patients received a single treatment. Surgery, antiretroviral therapy, and chemotherapy were the mostly adopted approaches. A persistent response was observed in approximately 65% of patients, with a 22% relapse rate (at least 2 years). The overall survival ranges from 90 to 70% at 2 to 10 years after the diagnosis. Iatrogenic KS demonstrated a higher mortality (52.9%). This study reflects our experience in the management of KS. Comorbidities are very frequent, and treatments are heterogeneous. A multidisciplinary approach involving multiple referral specialists is essential for the appropriate management of this disease during diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.

    Abstract Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment paradigm of non-small cell lung cancer and improved patients' prognosis. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have quickly become standard frontline treatment for metastatic non-oncogene addicted disease, either as a single agent or in combination strategies. However, only a few patients have long-term benefits, and most of them do not respond or develop progressive disease during treatment. Thus, the identification of reliable predictive and prognostic biomarkers remains crucial for patient selection and guiding therapeutic choices. In this review, we provide an overview of the current strategies, highlighting the main clinical challenges and novel potential biomarkers.

    Abstract The use of direct oral anticoagulant in cancer patients is an emerging issue, which seems to be an alternative to low molecular weight heparin. Every year several new drugs are approved as anticancer treatment with possible drug-drug interaction with other drugs such as oral anticoagulant. We describe, for the first time, a case of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in a patient in treatment with cabozantinib, a novel anticancer treatment used in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and apixaban with promptly resumption of the toxicity after the interruption of cabozantinib. This case suggest a possible interaction between these two pharmaceutical agents, which merit caution considering the spreading of the two drugs.
