Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare, locally aggressive, malignant neoplasm originating in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB remains high and there are no specific treatment ...
Molecular characterization of cancers with NTRK gene fusions
(
Springer Nature
, 2019 , Article)
Targeted inhibitors of neurotropic tyrosine kinases are highly effective in selected patients with gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3. These fusions are consistently detected in rare cancer types (e.g., secretory ...
Comprehensive analysis of cancers of unknown primary for the biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy
(
