Cancer genome profiling of prostate cancer identifies a patient with a novel EFNA1-NTRK1 fusion gene.
NTRK gene fusions serve as oncogenic drivers in solid tumors. While these fusions are uncommon in prostate cancer, they can be detected through cancer genome profiling tests. In a study of 68 prostate cancer cases analyzed with comprehensive cancer genome profiling, we identified a single instance of a novel EFNA1-NTRK1 fusion. The patient, a 56-year-old male diagnosed with prostate cancer and bone metastasis, presented with an initial PSA level of 323 ng/mL, a Gleason score of 4 + 4, and was classified as cT3bN0M1b. He underwent combined androgen blockade therapy but progressed to castration-resistant prostate cancer after 31 months. Despite previous treatments with androgen receptor signaling inhibitors and chemotherapies, the cancer continued to advance. Following the identification of an EFNA1-NTRK1 gene fusion via a cancer genome profiling test, the patient received treatment with larotrectinib. Although the initial biopsy showed positive pan-TRK staining in the prostate cancer tissue, the response to larotrectinib was limited in this case.
期刊介绍:
This online-only journal publishes original case reports on all types of cancer. In particular, we welcome not only case reports of educational value in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, but also reports on molecularly analyzed cancer cases, including gene mutations, gene fusions, gene expression, and changes in copy number, regardless of their known clinical significance. Assessing the molecular analysis of a tumor usually requires a “cancer conference” in which experts from various fields discuss it. Even if the authors and their respective “cancer conference” were unable to determine the clinical significance of molecular changes at the time of submission and publication, their data may provide evidence that will help the scientific community develop precision medicine solutions in the future. We welcome case reports with reviews of the literature on similar cases, as they are more useful and valuable to readers than are reports of rare cases. International Cancer Conference Journal is the official publication of the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO).
