Article Abstract

Rationale: Subcutaneous panniculitis like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare primary cutaneous lymphoma that belongs to peripheral T cell lymphomas, of which the overall prognosis is poor. Chidamide, a deacetylase inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of peripheral T cell lymphomas. However, due to the rare occurrence of SPTCL, it is currently unknown whether Chidamide is effective for all SPTCL patients and whether there are molecular markers that can predict its therapeutic effect on SPTCL.

Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: The patient was a sixteen-year-old male and underwent subcutaneous nodule biopsy which showed SPTCL. Next-generation sequencing revealed AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) mutation, and positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed scattered subcutaneous fluorodeoxyglucose metabolic lesions throughout the body.

Interventions And Outcomes: During the first 3 CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vindesine, and prednisone) treatment, the patient relapsed again after remission, and the successive addition of methotrexate and cyclosporine did not make the patient relapsing again. Then, after adding Chidamide to the last 3 CHOP treatment, the patient was relieved again. The patient underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) after completing a total of 8 cycles of chemotherapy, and continued maintenance therapy with Chidamide after auto-HSCT. Currently, the patient has been in continuous remission for 35 months.

Lessons Subsections: This case is the first report of a refractory/recurrent SPTCL with ARID1A mutation treated with Chidamide. The treatment of Chidamide on the basis of CHOP plus auto-HSCT therapy achieved good results, suggesting that ARID1A may act as a molecular marker to predict the therapeutic effect of Chidamide on SPTCL patients, which helps to improve the precision of SPTCL treatment and the overall prognosis of SPTCL patients.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death globally. Tumor profiling has revealed actionable gene alterations that guide treatment strategies and enhance survival. Among Hispanics living in Puerto Rico (PRH), GC ranks among the top 10 causes of cancer-related death.

Background: Sézary syndrome (SS) is an aggressive and leukemic variant of Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL) with an incidence of 1 case per million people per year. It is characterized by a complex and heterogeneous profile of genetic alteration ns that has so far precluded the development of a specific and definitive therapeutic intervention.

Methods: Deep-RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data were used to analyze the single nucleotide variants (SNVs) carried by 128 putative CTCL-driver genes, previously identified as mutated in genomic studies, in longitudinal SS samples collected from 17 patients subjected to extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) with Interferon-α.

Cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease characterized by the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that drive uncontrolled cellular proliferation and survival. This review provides a comprehensive overview of key cancer driver genes, including oncogenes such as KRAS and PIK3CA, as well as tumor suppressor genes like TP53, PTEN, and CDKN2A, highlighting their molecular mechanisms and roles across various types of cancer. Leveraging insights from large-scale cancer genome initiatives and whole-genome sequencing, we examine the landscape of somatic mutations and their association with hallmark cancer pathways, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, metabolic reprogramming, and immune evasion.

Gene actionability according to the ESMO Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets (ESCAT) in No Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP) endometrial cancer.

ESMO Open

September 2025

Unit of Oncological Gynecology, Women's Children's and Public Health Department, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, IRCCS, Rome, Italy; Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome, Italy. Electronic address: https://twitter.com/camillanero.

Background: The No Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP) subtype accounts for ∼30%-40% of endometrial cancer (EC), comprising a heterogeneous group of EC.

Patients And Methods: The primary outcome of this study was the prevalence of actionable genomic alterations in NSMP EC, classified according to the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets (ESCAT). Oncogenic and likely oncogenic alterations, pathways, and co-mutation patterns were reported.

Background: Recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers have poor prognoses and limited treatment options. While archival tumor tissue is commonly used for genomic profiling, it may not reflect molecular changes at recurrence.

Objective: We aimed to assess the utility of a circulating tumor DNA analysis in identifying actionable genomic alterations at recurrence and compare findings with archival primary tumor profiles.
