Deep Learning Predicts Mutations and Outcomes in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors from Whole-Slide Images. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
For therapeutic categories, performance reached 0.84 for avapritinib sensitivity and 0.81 for imatinib sensitivity. Prognostic performance was comparable to pathology-based scores, with highest discrimination in the overall cohort and in patients without adjuvant therapy. DL applied to WSIs enables prediction of molecular alterations, treatment sensitivity, and RFS in GIST, performing comparably to established risk scores across international cohorts, providing a baseline for future multimodal predictors.

Clinicopathological and molecular features of wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors identified by targeted NGS. (PubMed, Histol Histopathol)
WT GISTs exhibit considerable molecular heterogeneity with novel or rare mutations of uncertain significance. Targeted NGS enables the detection of clinically relevant alterations that may guide future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Our findings emphasize the importance of targeted molecular profiling and raise the potential for personalized treatment in this challenging subset of GISTs.

RNA-Based and DNA-Based Next-Generation Sequencing of KIT and PDGFRA Mutations in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Analytical Performance and Epidemiologic Insights. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
RNA-Seq demonstrates high accuracy for detecting clinically relevant KIT and PDGFRA mutations and may complement DNA-based profiling. The DNA cohort provides broader context for mutation prevalence and patterns in clinical practice.

Histopathological and molecular heterogeneity of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors. (PubMed, J Neuropathol Exp Neurol)
Thus, DNTs with high confidence scores are relatively homogenous but DNTs with low methylation confidence scores are heterogenous, highlighting the importance of integrated molecular profiling. Our findings also suggest that the myxoid glioneuronal tumor methylation class may require further classification of underlying drivers.

Uterine Myxoid Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Sarcoma (MIMS) Harboring Pathogenic KRAS Mutations and Expressing ER, PR, and CD10. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
No gene fusions in PDGFRA/B, JAK1, PML, ALK, ROS1, PLAG1, or any other gene were identified by whole transcriptomic RNA sequencing. Given its deceptively bland appearance and its propensity, at least in the uterus, to express both CD10 and ER with only focal SMA expression, MIMS can be mistaken for an endometrial stromal tumor, an ALK and ROS1-negative uterine inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, or other cytologically bland fusion-driven uterine mesenchymal neoplasms.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibition for succinate dehydrogenase-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Nat Med)
We conducted a phase 2 trial of pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor rogaratinib in patients with sarcoma and report here on the cohort of patients with advanced SDH-deficient GIST...This trial illustrates a successful demonstration of targeted cancer therapy predicated on an epigenetic mechanism of oncogene activation. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT04595747 .

Construction of an actin cytoskeleton-related gene signature for predicting prognosis and therapeutic response in glioblastoma: based on machine learning. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
Drug sensitivity analysis indicated that tozasertib, savolitinib, AZD4547, IWP-2, and GSK591 may have potential therapeutic value. Multi-omics analyses revealed that these key genes are regulated by DNA methylation and transcription factor networks. The actin cytoskeleton-based gene signature serves as an independent indicator of poor prognosis and may support precise prognostic assessment and personalized therapeutic strategies for GBM.

Neurofibromatosis type 1-associated gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor with PRC2 loss. (PubMed, Clin J Gastroenterol)
This case highlights a possible association between secondary genomic alterations, PRC2-related epigenetic alteration, and aggressive tumor behavior in NF1-associated GIST. Integrated genomic and epigenomic evaluations may provide important insights into tumor behavior and therapeutic strategies for this rare GIST subtype.

Sustainable high-throughput microwell spectrophotometric methods for avapritinib quality control via charge-transfer complexation. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
A comprehensive multi-metric sustainability assessment-utilizing ten tools including AES, AGREE, BAGI, RGB, and RAPI-confirmed the methods' excellent greenness (e.g., AES score = 90), superior practicality, and robust analytical performance, achieving a high White Index of 94.2%. With a substantially higher throughput of ~ 500 samples/hour and minimal solvent consumption (200µL/well), the proposed MW-SPMs offers a rapid, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to conventional chromatographic and spectrofluorimetric techniques for routine pharmaceutical analysis, aligning with multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
