An Uncommon Presentation of Selpercatinib (Retevmo)-Induced Severe Transaminitis: A Biopsy-Proven Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
Given oncologic necessity, selpercatinib was reintroduced at a reduced dose (40 mg daily) without recurrence of severe transaminitis. This case highlights that selpercatinib can cause clinically significant hepatocellular DILI and underscores the diagnostic value of liver biopsy in distinguishing DILI from autoimmune hepatitis, particularly when considering safe dose modification and rechallenge.

Postoperative risk stratification using calcitonin doubling rate in medullary thyroid carcinoma with biochemical persistent disease. (PubMed, Surgery)
Dynamic assessment of postoperative calcitonin kinetics enables meaningful stratification of recurrence risk among patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma and biochemical persistent disease. Incorporation of calcitonin-based growth kinetics may support more individualized postoperative surveillance strategies.

Selpercatinib and the Crossover Conundrum: Potential Impact of Postprogression Therapies on Overall Survival. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
The results of Study LIBRETTO-431, an ex-US multiregional, open-label, randomized, active-controlled trial of selpercatinib versus platinum-based and pemetrexed chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab in patients with treatment-naïve advanced rearranged during transfection fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer, highlight the challenges of interpreting OS in trials with high crossover rates and variable postprogression therapies. Trial results demonstrated a large improvement in progression-free survival with an acceptable safety profile, but were accompanied by an immature OS analysis with a hazard ratio of 1.26, favoring the chemoimmunotherapy arm. Regardless of the position of OS in the end point hierarchy, it is critical that OS analyses include prespecified plans for data collection and analytical methods to account for the potential impact of postprogression therapies on the interpretation of study results.

RET Signaling Pathway in Human Cancer: Oncogenic Mechanisms, Selective Inhibitors, and Emerging Resistance Strategies. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Early multi-kinase inhibitors such as vandetanib and cabozantinib demonstrated modest efficacy with significant toxicity, whereas the selective RET inhibitors selpercatinib and pralsetinib have achieved improved response rates and tolerability...Nonetheless, resistance, driven by secondary mutations and bypass signaling, presents a major therapeutic challenge. Ongoing development of next-generation inhibitors and combination strategies aims to overcome resistance and improve patient outcomes.

Deciphering RTK-RAS and MAPK Pathway Dependencies in Gemcitabine-Treated Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Through Conversational Artificial Intelligence. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
These findings reveal age- and treatment-dependent pathway dependencies beyond canonical KRAS status and support a precision oncology framework in PDAC. Conversational AI facilitated rapid, multidimensional clinical-genomic integration to uncover clinically relevant signaling substructures.

Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Without Identifiable Primary Tumor Within the Thyroid Gland, Presenting with Initial Lymph Node Metastasis Followed by Distant Peritoneal Metastasis: A Case Report of a Rare Phenomenon. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Despite vandetanib treatment, the disease progressed and the patient expired. This case highlights a rare presentation of a metastatic neoplasm highly suggestive of RET wild-type MTC with peritoneal involvement, despite the absence of an identifiable primary lesion.

Second Line Treatment Decision as Per Standard of Care or Foundation Medicine in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
Using FMI data, clinicians were able to direct patients toward clinical trials and to modify SOC clinical management for several NSCLC patients. These results demonstrate the benefit of FMI genomic profiling in identifying actionable driver mutations that would otherwise be missed by SOC methodology. The findings suggest that CGP is a promising and robust tool for improving personalized medicine in NSCLC treatment in Spain.

The clinical consequences of diagnostic delay in sporadic pediatric MEN2B: a case series of 6 children. (PubMed, Eur J Pediatr)
Children with MEN2B demonstrate a highly characteristic and complete phenotypic spectrum. However, diagnostic delay in children with sporadic MEN2B is common, often leading to lymph node metastasis at diagnosis. Enhancing awareness of its distinctive features among relevant specialists and establishing efficient multidisciplinary team-based recognition and referral pathways are crucial for achieving early genetic diagnosis, enabling timely prophylactic surgery, and ultimately improving long-term outcomes.

Sarcoidosis-Induced Hypercalcemia in a Patient With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A (MEN2A) Syndrome Harboring the C609Y REarranged During Transfection (RET) Mutation. (PubMed, AACE Endocrinol Diabetes)
Patient was managed acutely with calcitonin and was started on prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. The co-occurrence of both MEN 2A and sarcoidosis is rare, adding an unexpected layer of complexity to the diagnosis. The rarity of sarcoidosis co-occurring with MEN 2A highlights the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis, even in patients with known genetic syndromes, to ensure accurate management.
