  • Tumors showing TRK (tropomyosin receptor kinase) gene fusion

    Tumors showing TRK (tropomyosin receptor kinase) gene fusion

    Recent molecular studies have revealed that,  several tumors harbor TRK fusion. However fusion frequencies vary.  Several NTRK1/2/3 (neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase) fusions have been reported. It is important to identify them since they serve as potential targets for therapy The NTRK1, 2, and 3 genes encode a family of tyrosine kinase receptors with an active…

    6 KEY POINTS FOR BOARDS – MICROPAPILLARY BREAST CARCINOMA

    Micropapillary breast carcinoma is a rare variant. Micropapillary carcinoma of breast has a few unique clinical, microscopic and immunological features which aid in their differentiation from other subtypes of breast carcinoma. Let’s look at them!! 1. Tufts of cells arranged in pseudopapillae ( lack fibrovascular cores). These pseudopapillae are surrounded by empty clear spaces formed…
