Establishing Frameworks for Precision Medicine in NTRK Fusion-Positive Advanced Solid Tumors
August 7, 2024
Arizona Center for Cancer Care
Despite significant advancements over the past decade, significant unmet needs persist for patients with NTRK-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In addition, there is ongoing debate about the importance of testing for genomic alterations in rare cancers, or those that rarely occur in common cancers. However, evolving molecular testing procedures and emerging therapeutic options targeting NTRK fusions offer new pathways for the detection and treatment of these cancers. Using expert-developed, peer-reviewed content, leaders at cancer centers will facilitate a 1-hour learning and action planning program with their clinical team to review and enhance their diagnostic-therapeutic paradigms to support improved testing for rare genomic alterations and optimize treatment selection practices.
