In Brief Study Design. A retrospective, radiographical study. Objective. To evaluate short-term radiological changes in sagittal alignment after lumbar decompression without fusion for canal stenosis. Summary of Background Data. Although the importance global balance is underscored recently, little known about decompression. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 88 patients who underwent at a single institution between November 2008 and May 2013, with minimum follow-up 5 months. Standing...

Tumor molecular profiling is becoming a standard of care for patients with cancer, but the optimal platform cancer sequencing remains undetermined. We established comprehensive assay, Todai OncoPanel ( TOP ), which consists DNA and RNA hybridization capture‐based next‐generation panels. A novel method target enrichment, named junction capture method, was developed panel to accurately cost‐effectively detect 365 fusion genes as well aberrantly spliced transcripts. The can also measure...

Abstract Mutations in ERBB2 (encoding HER2) occur 2% to 4% of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and confer poor prognosis. ERBB-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors, approved for treating other HER2-dependent cancers, are ineffective HER2-mutant NSCLC due dose-limiting toxicities or suboptimal potency. We report the discovery zongertinib (BI 1810631), a covalent HER2 inhibitor. Zongertinib potently selectively blocks HER2, while sparing EGFR, inhibits growth cells dependent on oncogenic...

Numerous nontruncating missense variants of the BRCA2 gene have been identified, but there is a lack convincing evidence, such as familial data, demonstrating their clinical relevance and they thus remain unactionable. To assess pathogenicity unknown significance (VUSs) within BRCA2, here we develop method, MANO-B for high-throughput functional evaluation utilizing BRCA2-deficient cells poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. The estimated sensitivity specificity this assay compared...

Various genetic alterations of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family have been detected across a wide range cancers. However, inhibition FGFR signaling by kinase inhibitors demonstrated limited clinical effectiveness. Herein, we evaluated transforming activity and sensitivity 160 nonsynonymous mutations ten fusion genes to seven tyrosine (TKI) using mixed-all-nominated-in-one (MANO) method, high-throughput functional assay. The oncogenicity 71 mutants was newly discovered in...

Activating mutations in mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAP2K1) are involved a variety of cancers and may be classified according to their RAF dependence. Sensitivity combined BRAF MEK treatments is associated with co-mutations MAP2K1 BRAF; however, the significance less frequent largely unknown. The transforming potential drug sensitivity 100 variants were evaluated using individual assays mixed-all-nominated-in-one method. In addition, A375, melanoma cell line harboring V600E mutation,...

Abstract Background: Osteosarcoma (OS), the most common primary malignant bone tumor, presents challenges in treatment, especially metastatic or recurrent cases. Genomic profiling may offer novel therapeutic approaches by identifying actionable mutations. This study utilizes data from Japanese Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT) AACR Project GENIE, comparing findings with MSK-IMPACT dataset to understand differences genomic landscapes identify clinically alterations....

Patients with advanced cancer undergo comprehensive genomic profiling in Japan only after treatment options have been exhausted. a very poor prognosis were not able to tests, resulting selection bias called length bias, which makes accurate survival analysis impossible. The actual impact of on the overall patients who undergone tests is unclear, yet appropriate methods for adjusting developed. To assess survival, we established simulation-based model adjustment. This study utilized...

Although desmoplastic fibroblastoma (DFB) and fibroma of tendon sheath (FTS) are well-established entities, they may show overlapping clinicopathological features. In addition, cytogenetic data showing a shared 11q12 rearrangement in small number cases suggest close link between these entities. A recent microarray study revealed up-regulation FOSL1 mRNA DFBs with rearrangement. The aim this was to clarify the relationship DFB FTS.We tested 42 diagnosed originally as either or FTSs for...
