Title The way to precision medicine in gynecologic cancers: The first case report of an exceptional response to alpelisib in a PIK3CA-mutated endometrial cancer.
URL
Abstract Text Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic cancer in Europe and its prevalence is increasing. EC includes a biological and clinical heterogeneous group of tumors, usually classified as type I (endometrioid) or type II (non-endometrioid) based on the histopathological characteristics. In 2013, a new molecular classification was proposed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) based on the comprehensive molecular profiling of EC. Several molecular somatic alterations have been described in development and progression of EC. Using these molecular features, EC was reclassified into four subgroups: POLE ultra-mutated, MSI hypermutated, copy-number low, and copy-number high that correlate with the prognosis. To this regard, it is widely reported that EC has more frequent mutations in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway signaling than any other tumor. PIK3CA is the main significant mutated gene after PTEN alterations. Overall, over 90% of endometrioid tumors have activating PI3K molecular alterations that suggests its critical role in the EC pathogenesis. Thus, the dysregulation of PI3K pathway represents an attractive target in EC treatment. Herein, we report a radiological and clinically meaningful response to a selective PIK3 inhibitor in a patient with extensively pre-treated advanced endometrioid EC harboring a somatic activating PIK3CA hotspot mutation. These evidences provide the rational for translational strategies of the PI3K inhibition and could support the clinical usefulness of PIK3CA genotyping in advanced EC. To our knowledge, this is the first clinical case of PIK3CA-mutated EC successfully treated with alpelisib.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

ROS1 G1027D missense unknown ROS1 G1027D lies within fibronectin type-III domain 4 of the Ros1 protein (UniProt.org). G1027D has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 32504289, PMID: 36713525), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Ros1 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Mar 2024).
